about

An album of original songs that are inspired by Alfred Wainwright, the reknowned author of unique Lakeland walking guides. Some are based on the life of this complicated character, whilst others use his writing and drawings as inspiration.
The songs are celebratory of Lakeland and of AW's achievements whilst also recognising his idiosyncracies.
