Watch Toby Hay performing Leaving Chicago, a track from his latest album The Longest Day. Don’t miss his album launch on Friday, 20th July 7:30pm, St John’s Church, Canton, Cardiff.
Amid breathtaking Welsh landscape, we met up with twelve-string guitarist Toby Hay, our Artist of the Month for July, to discuss the mechanics behind his new set of acoustic instrumentals, The Longest Day.
This willingness to engage – emotionally and physically, with internal and external landscapes – is what sets Toby Hay apart from virtually everyone else currently making instrumental folk music. The Longest Day is a triumph, a thing of shimmering beauty.
We have the pleasure of sharing Toby Hay’s new single ‘Curlew (Part 1)’, a track on which he explores loss and grief, the circularity of time and its healing qualities. Taken from his new album ‘The Longest Day’, out on June 21st.
Toby Hay announces new album ‘The Longest Day’, the scope of which is broader than his debut. Set for release on the summer solstice the title track is released as the first single today, watch the accompanying video.
