Shchedryk merch has landed! Before it became Carol Of The Bells, the original lyrics were about the first swallow of spring arriving back in Ukraine. I imagined it flying in a storm. To me the music & image are about resilience in the face of brutality.

The intense bridge from Shchedryk. This section is my own addition to the Ukrainian original. I hope it's in keeping. It's cathartic to play, like screaming at the sky.

My new single is out one week today, Monday Dec 1st - my interpretation of the Ukrainian classic Shchedryk, aka Carol Of The Bells. You can pre-save the song at jongomm.com/shchedryk
I've poured everything into the arrangement, production, video, the artwork, to try to do justice to this music.

Nostalgia-fest: The first time this team made videos together was for Passionflower and Ain't Nobody, 14 (F-O-U-R-T-E-E-N) years ago. Filming something together again felt totally surreal and totally natural and the same time. 🤍

Don't doubt your power! I'd be nowhere without this phenomenon. (And I'm releasing something new for the holiday season in a few weeks, and I'm hoping to harness it again...)

Turns out when I'm full of cold, my ADHD medication doesn't work & my brain is full of squirrels. It's so difficult to play that way, I don't know how I ever did it. No wonder life was so stressful
Thanks for getting me through it Leeds! You made it glorious fun

Wukan Motorcycle Kid from my album Secrets Nobody Keeps. A eulogy for the Siege of Wukan in 2011, when a village in China rose up against authoritarianism

I skipped school a lot. People think atypical teenagers are being different on purpose to be cool. But you're not even cool, you're viewed with suspicion, or even bullied
I'd hide in music stores. Everyone is a musician, so it's chatting on easy mode. I go to them like old fellas go to barber shops

What is a "guitar clinic"? Nobody knows, which means I can choose to believe it's a gig but in between songs the audience can ask me ANY QUESTION THEY LIKE. Some of my favourite past questions:
"Can you play guitar normally" (yes)
"Have you lost your shoes" (no)
"Is ADHD a super power" (I wish)
