Alan McGinley & Friends - End of the Line (Green vinyl) [PRE-ORDER]

The songs on this beautifully packaged debut EP range from the narrative to the confessional to the darkly comic.

They’re set on a train, in a church, and inside a coffin.

There’s a love story, a conversation with God, and a rumination by a man in his seventh decade on what it would mean if he didn’t achieve a healthy weight before he died.

The musicality is thanks to some extraordinary musicians, who bring craft, technique, and, most of all, imagination to the source material.

During the time the tracks were recorded, a young Welshman, Dan, died in a hospice in Clydebank, and £5 from every vinyl sale will go to St Margaret’s Hospice, Clydebank in his memory.
