Fruit Island

Daryl Runswick is a musical polymath, was bassist and then pianist for Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth and is also a highly regarded contemporary classical composer. In Young Man Songs we find Daryl in song writer mode, teaming up with lyricist Kerry Lee Crabbe, these songs come from the 80 when Daryl was a young man trying to sell his musical wares these are more than demos, beautifully recorded and performed. Engineered by the legendary John Burns (Hendrix, Clapton and on up from there) these 1982 sessions finally get a belated and welcome release
