The Chimes of Big Ben

What is a prisoner? Someone who is locked up? Trapped? Trying to escape?

IN SOME WAYS, ISN'T EVERYONE A PRISONER?

They could be a prisoner to their job, their relationship, to disease, even a prisoner in their own head and there’s no way out.

The Chimes of Big Ben explores that subject. With tracks that take direct influence from the superb 1960’s TV Show ‘The Prisoner’, and others that expand the idea. Arriving at an unknown place and spending the rest of your time trying to escape while also trying to establish who is the boss. But along the way there’s songs about work. relationships, past lives and your mind, all of which point to being trapped.

And at the end? Can you escape? Who is Number One? Or is the answer there all along?
