If multi-tasking was an Olympic sport, from what I’ve seen, Hannah White and her partner Keiron Marshall would be gold medallists.  Hands down - nailed on - flat out winners.  Not only that, but they would also probably want to do it blindfolded, tied up in a sack and thrown into a river to prove it could be done.  Then the sack would be split open at the medal awards to reveal two of the broadest smiles in the world.  They would probably win gold for that too if it was a category.  I love these guys.

‍

The incredible juggling act that goes on around the clock to keep the plates spinning in their full-to-the-brim lives is quite something.  It’s relentless but the world they inhabit abounds with characters and events that provide a constant spark for the songwriter’s touchpaper.  Hannah never misses the chance to transform relevant occurrences into song.  

‍

We have been working together for a couple of years now, spreading the word on Hannah’s songwriting and performing and I never need any further encouragement to make her songs public.  The challenge is finding a way to get them out there to you because there are so many and they are all good.

‍

The traditional route to market by record labels for the best part of the last hundred years has been selling “albums” of songs performed by the artist.  These collections would be released every couple of years but the content would be limited to the popular formats of the day.  Early collections of 78rpm discs only contained a few songs because they were fragile, heavy and expensive.  The arrival of the 12” vinyl album expanded that to ten or twelve.  Compact Discs pushed the boundary to seventy-four minutes.  The result of this essential screening process was that many songs would be consigned to the producer’s scrapheap in search of the perfect anthology to fit within the allotted time available to suit the genre pigeonhole that the artist had been put in by the record company.

‍

There is no pigeonholing Hannah White.  There’s no producer’s scrapheap either.  The only limit to the number of recordings that can be made public in this digital age is the quality control exercised by the artist.  If Hannah’s not happy with it, you’ll never hear it.

‍

Now back to that juggling act.  On the heels of winning “Best Song” at Americana Music Association (UK) awards show in London 2023 she was nominated for “Artist Of The Year” in 2024 and went on “Album Of The Year” and “Artist Of The Year” in 2025.  This led to an invitation from the Americana Music Association in Nashville for Hannah to appear at their Americanafest 2025 show.  She was duly listed as a performer at official showcases and related events.  An organisation named BRITISH UNDERGROUND (government funded?) helps fund developing British artists to go to the USA for this and similar events but they declined to help Hannah finance the trip, despite having previously been able to provide funding support for previous AMA UK nominees.  Characteristically, Hannah and Keiron found their own way to make it out to Nashville in Septemberfor AmericanaFest.  It’s just been another hurdle jumped for this indefatigable pair.  Let’s not overlook the fact that Keiron won the AMA UK 2025 award for “UK Instrumentalist Of The Year” for his fine guitar playing.

‍

They returned from Nashville just in time for their FINE DAY album release show at the 100 Club in London.  It is the obligatory two years since the last CD/LP, but that hasn’t stopped us releasing other songs (that for no good reason other than their abundance would have been on the aforementioned scrapheap a few years back) as digital singles.  And that’s because as I was in the process of releasing SWEET REVOLUTION in 2023, Hannah revealed that she already got enough recorded material for what would be her next album - FINE DAY.  Not only that, but she was also still regularly writing and recording and there was another stash of great songs that may never see daylight.  That’s why we decided to do the twelve singles that were released digitally over the course of a year.

‍

FINE DAY is released on September 19th, 2025, and as a special bonus, the twelve digital singles have been included as an additional CD in the compact disc version of this great new album.  The 12” green vinyl edition is solely the tracks that make up FINE DAY.

‍

After that, she’ll keep writing and I’ll keep releasing and no doubt - you’ll keep enjoying the great music of Hannah White.
