Benjamin Franics Leftwich has released a Christmas single.
Tinsel In The River unfurls around acoustic guitar and honest vocals as the singer-songwriter offers a heart-rending look at the festive period. He said:
"Tinsel In The River is a song about sitting alone over the Christmas period and reflecting over the previous year of love, loss and what could have been - but flew out of one's hands. The song is set against the Christmas party season in the town in Yorkshire where I am from. The city comes alive with: the party, the bag, loving fellowship - and also chaos.
"To me the song is about that feeling of isolation, set against the backdrop of bright noisiness at that time of year and how the sparkle of it all can also be the trigger for the pain that was so nearly disappearing in the normal stillness of the town, which suddenly is turned upside down."
Leftwich released his fourth album, 'To Carry A Whale', back in June. He'll support it with a previously announced UK and Ireland tour in February and March 2022.
