Spending time listening to acclaimed songwriter Alan O’ Hare talk is one of those great pleasures in life. Passionate about his craft, the city of Liverpool, justice, truth and making sure people understand what Liverpool means as a place of music and art, Alan O’ Hare gives forthright answers with absolute honesty and candour.

Having crafted ten incredible songs for the new album From Muddy Water To Higher Ground at Crosstown Records with Million-selling producer Jon Lawton, Alan O’ Hare is entitled to feel relaxed and content with life if he so wishes but there is a tremendous feel to the man’s world that suggests seismic change, the ability that erupts from under the surface of a very talented wordsmith is never far from exploding and taking down viable targets with it.
