Biography
“Witty, charming, candid…the list goes on with how to describe Woodditton Wives Club…Romantic and honest, this album ticks all the boxes for those of you wanting a simple, sincere musical experience. Lovely stuff! - For Folks Sake
“Frankly it’s a real boost to discover a genuine world class practitioner who restores your faith in the genre…” - Tom Robinson BBC6Music
“laid-back but infectious songcraft…” - Time Out
“…an old-fashioned troubadour in the strictest sense. Strumming gentle folk songs on his guitar, his warm and soulful voice conjures up memories of sun-kissed summer nights out on the lawn.” - London Metro
“a wonderfully fresh and perceptive look at a world many of us will recognise” - Folk Radio UK
“From instrumentation to songwriting to Highton’s endearing voice, this album is beautifully arranged…8/10” - Neon Filler
After growing up in Liverpool, and then ten years or so in London, Alex decamped with his family to rural Cambridgeshire. What he found was an England he didn’t know existed and a life he didn’t know he was looking for. With no expectations at all he wrote and recorded a bunch of songs that chronicled his journey from the city to the country. Just stuff about what was going on around him, his wife, his kids, breathing in the fresh air and staring into the abyss…
The album was recorded at Andy Ramsay’s (Stereolab) studio in South London with Jonny Bridgwood (Morrisey, Kathryn Williams) on Double Bass and Howard Monk (Billy Mahonie) on drums.
