About
In this context, performing Schubert songs in white tie and tails, standing in the crook of a large grand piano in a refined, often largecapacity cultural venue, began to seem to me to be inauthentic, and even contrary to the spirit in which Schubert had composed them. To do so is certainly to offer something quite different to what he would have expected. His songs were written for intimate social occasions, celebrating friendship and storytelling in the most relaxed, offhand and (often) alcohol-fueled way, with participants bringing instruments and dressing up. In other words, they are not so different to any other examples of music, theatre and storytelling intended to bring people together in real life situations to feel connected, imbued with a sense of belonging and shared moments, and embraced by love and human warmth. As we nervously approach the Age of AI, I suspect evenings like these will become even more important, and more desirable. I hope so. My thoughts wander again to the wide-eyed 5-year-old, toasting by the fire, as the story came alive around him. After many years of touring, theatre and song making later, I feel that a lot of what I do is an attempt to recapture the excitement I felt that night. I hope you can feel even a tiny whiff of it as you listen to these songs, which are humbly brought to you with my great friends in the Alehouse Boys, to whom I will always be grateful. Above all, I hope they conjure some sense of the Schubert that perhaps we have come to miss a lover of relaxed storytelling through friendship, humanity, and intimacy.
