FM Guitarist Jim Kirkpatrick is delighted to premiere the video for ‘Brave New World’, which can be viewed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9kukadYsO0 — arguably the most guitar-showcasing track on his storming 12-track solo album ‘Ballad of a Prodigal Son’.

”’Brave New World’ jim kirkpatrick is the big guitar track on the new album” Jim explains, before adding ”I got the idea for the title when FM were travelling through The Mojave Desert earlier in 2020. I’d recorded the track, but hadn’t finished the lyrics. It crossed my mind that someone like ace songwriter Thea Gilmore could write an awesome and much better lyric than me for something like this, so I asked her if she’d be interested in helping out. I emailed her the rough mix with my melody and, unbelievably, she sent the finished lyric back two hours later! The result is what many people are calling their favourite track on the album.”
