Nottingham songwriter Jack Peachey aka Gallery 47 returns with this month with his ninth album East Street which was recorded at Jack’s family home over the Christmas period in 2019/2020. Listen to his new single ‘I Wish I Was’ below:

The accompanying press tells us: The bare bones of all songs were recorded on a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Vox AC 15 amp on the same day. Most takes were recorded with an AKG C414 condenser microphone, and many songs feature upwards of ten vocal takes double tracked in unison or harmony. Despite the seemingly melancholic subject matter – many songs touch affectionately on paranoia, disease, addiction and death – the album was written and recorded in a positive state of mind, optimistic for the future.
The final para is maybe the most telling: East Street finds Jack in the last year of a publishing deal with BMG, Berlin. He has tried to make ends meet in various day-jobs and is pleasantly nihilistic about his prospects in life.
