MindTravels is a new project Josh has developed with English poet and Unitarian minister Mark Hutchinson. The duo have taken a collection of Mark’s poems and reflections and Josh has improvised on the piano while Mark has read the poetry. Initially a lockdown experiment, the project began as a series of video reflections recorded over zoom and broadcast via YouTube and Facebook. The idea grew legs and an album has been recorded in Ireland with Josh’s regular collaborator, sound engineer Anthony Gibney.
The debut album, simply called MindTravels, will be launched on August 15th, the day of the first date of the first MindTravels tour across the UK and Ireland. You can catch the performance in the following venues
