Here’s the title song of my new album, shot on location in West London by Luke Nyman. The Garden derives its name from a temporary lease (in the early 1970s!) of a derelict industrial patch to a beginning community gardening project. During the years I worked at a British university and lived nearby, I often sat in the Garden, wondering how long this ‘meanwhile’ would last for me in London Town…

New album ‘Meanwhile Gardens’ available now to listen & download on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon & more. It features the singles ‘Find My Way’ and ‘Aleppo Blues’, next to 9 amazing new songs both personal and political:

Te gekke cd! Ik hoor dat jij net zo’n grote McCartney fan bent als ik :-). Fijne stem en hele mooie liedjes! – Bertolf Lentink

Inspired by Ameer Alhalbi’s award-winning World Press photo (see cover), ‘Aleppo Blues’ will feature on my coming-soon second album ‘Meanwhile Gardens’. Available to listen & download on Spotify & all digital stores (€ 0,99). Listen to it for free here:
