about

I’m Adam Walton. I grew up in Mold in north Wales. I’ve been obsessed with making music since I heard a schoolmate, Graham Devine, playing classical guitar at a Welsh language training camp when I was 11. Graham is now a world-renowned classical guitarist, whereas I talk too much while celebrating other people’s music on the radio (BBC Introducing in Wales).

The band I sing and play guitar for - The Immediate - reformed after a long hiatus in 2016, and have since released two albums that earned airplay on various stations worldwide, including 6Music and BBC Radio Wales. We've played some great gigs with the likes of The Darling Buds, The Blockheads, Kidsmoke and Campfire Social, but not nearly enough gigs because Big Important Life (my bandmates' families and their proper, demanding jobs) make rehearsal and travel difficult.

The problem with twiddling my thumbs and fingers at home, however, is that songs fall out. Lots of songs. And some of those songs have grown into this album.

Love, Death & In Between, then, has been shaped by my wanting to do something regardless of who else is available: a have-guitar, will-travel philosophy, with a set of songs written specifically to be played solo.

I re-read Viv Albertine’s brilliant memoir, Clothes Clothes Clothes Music Music Music Boys Boys Boys, over the summer. It’s such a motivational story, uncompromisingly and brilliantly told. Viv’s commitment to re-learning the guitar and writing songs, and her determination in taking those songs out to open mic nights, away from home and out of her comfort zone, is particularly inspirational.

That's my plan, then, for this set of songs: a cheery selection inspired by grief and despair, and finding joy in the rain, or in music, or in the arms of the person you love while the world goes to pot outside.

The approach for Love, Death & In Between was really simple: one man, one guitar, one voice, no overdubs, and recorded at home, in mono. Not as Luddite affectations, but because I wanted to keep it as simple and direct as possible.

I hope you like these songs. I’m too old and grumpy to pretend otherwise, and I want to take them out of the house as often as possible, away from clearing up continuously after my kamikaze kittens.

Thank you for your time.
