Thanks so much to Dom Servini for inviting Galliano onto his Wah Wah 45s show on Shoho Radio last night. Myself and Rob played three songs live:
• Somewhere (new track)
• Roofing Tiles (from the last album :4)
• Pleasure Joy & Happiness (from the forthcoming album Halfway Somewhere)
It was nice to re-live some memories of being The Botanist 🪴

I was honoured to contribute to this album.
I played keyboards on the starred tracks.

I’m so excited that the first single from the brand new Galliano album 'Circles Going Round The Sun' is released on 22nd May 2024.
The album started life in October 2022 with some jams up at Ernie McKone’s legendary Boogieback Records studios, and this track was one of the first batch. I feel very privileged to have been able to play a part in the creation of this record and can’t wait for the album release later in the year together with a bunch of festival gigs!
The album 'Halfway Somwehere' is released on 30th August and you can pre-order it here: https://galliano.lnk.to/halfwaysomewherewe
