Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

William Harrison Ainsworth, the creator of the most famous Highwayman of all the dashing Dick Turpin, could not himself have come up with a more dashing hero than resides in the musician Jared James Nichols.

Life on the road is perhaps the pinnacle of a musician’s daily life. Away from the possibility of awards, of the dedication of the fans buying singles, E.Ps and albums, playing for a different crowd every night, performing for a crowd with energy to give and respect to unfold, an audience that at the end of the day surrenders their wares, perhaps their souls and certainly their time to by a figure just out of reach but who leaves them hopefully with something more important, hope.
