‼ NEW SINGLE ‼ - “All Those Summers Ago” - featuring Steve Wickham of The Waterboys.
We’re incredibly proud to announce the release of our brand-new single “All Those Summers Ago”, a heartfelt reflection on childhood summers in Ireland, friendship, nostalgia, and the passage of time, made even more special by a guest appearance from one of our musical heroes, Steve Wickham (The Waterboys, No Crows).
We are thrilled to reveal that Steve has recorded an evocative tenor guitar overdub for the track, lending his signature touch and unmistakable musicality to our latest release.
“Having Steve record on one of our songs feels incredibly special, he’s been a huge influence on us for years, both musically and creatively. Not only is it a great coup to have him play on the track, but it’s also a real validation of what we’re doing as a band. For someone of his calibre to connect with our music in this way means the world.”
This collaboration came about after Steve had previously helped with artwork for one of our earlier singles. The result is a beautifully layered track that bridges generations of folk-rock tradition, imbued with warmth, melody, and authenticity.
The song was produced by GibAudio, whose keen ear for detail helped bring “All Those Summers Ago” to life. With a growing reputation for crafting recordings that balance clarity and character, GibAudio deliver a mix that’s rich, emotional, and perfectly suited to our storytelling style.
“All Those Summers Ago” will be available on all major streaming platforms on Monday, 20th October and you can presave it here - https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thriftymalone/all-those-summers-ago
