HAVING taken a break from his long-standing partnership with Phil Beer as part of the folk roots legends Show of Hands Steve Knightley has released his first solo album in 17 years with backing from guest artists including Beer and Madrid-based The Track Dogs.
Inspired by artists like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits and Peter Gabriel, the album marks a new departure musically but the songs still tell stories that matter.
