Oliver Wakeman has shared a brand new trailer video for his upcoming solo album celtic prog album Anam Cara, which you can watch here.
As revealed exclusively in the latest issue of Prog Magazine, Wakeman will release Anam Cara, his eleventh solo album and his first for 20 years, through Spirit Of Unicorn Music on May 17.
The album features a wealth of special guests, including Hayley Griffiths, Troy Donockley (Nightwish), Oliver Day (Beatrix Players) and Scott Higham (former Pendragon).
"Anam Cara refers to the celtic concept of having a Soul Friend," explains Wakeman. “The songs I’ve written for this album are all short stories. They have allowed my imagination to run riot. It was also the perfect excuse to call upon some of the finest musicians around who have helped me make this record exceed my expectations.
“The idea of a Soul Friend - a guide, companion, teacher, compassionate presence - seemed to fit so perfectly with the songs I have written. As for the incredible musicians who have helped me to record this album, they have all truly become Soul Friends.”
Anam Cara has been mixed by Karl Groom (Threshold) and recorded by John Mitchell (It Bites, Lonely Robot, Kino, Frost* ). Album artwork is by world-renowned artist Anne Sudworth.
