Gerry Cinnamon performing at TRNSMT Festival 2018 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Gerry Cinnamon has premiered Where We’re Going from his new album The Bonny ahead of its release on April 10th.
“Where We’re Going I wrote years ago at a dark time in my life,” he says. “Folk can attach their own meaning to it but really it’s about being in a shit place with no way out, mixed with a gentle reminder to hold onto whatever wee dream you have. A mixture of dark stuff with some positive reality.
“If you’re in a real shit situation it can be near impossible to see a positive outcome unless you’re either an idiot or a serial optimist. I don’t want to contribute to the negative shit in my writing, there’s more than enough of that going around already.”
The huge word-of-mouth success of his debut album Erratic Cinematic will be emphatically on display when Cinnamon headlines Hampden Park in Glasgow this coming July, a gig which is to follow more big UK and Ireland shows in Sheffield, London, Manchester, Cork, Belfast and Dublin.
