CHRIS HELME

Friday May 29th

After three decades of writing, recording, and performing, Chris Helme continues to breathe new life into the songs that made his name. Best known as the voice of The Seahorses, Chris returns with Forest For The Trees , a deeply intimate collection of reimagined tracks from across his career, offering a fresh take on familiar favourites and hidden gems alike.

Forest For The Trees Vol 1 is the first such offering of this ongoing series of recordings & showcases gently crafted versions of songs such as Love Me & Leave Me, Standing On Your Head, and other Seahorses classics, You Can Talk To Me being a particularly stand out track. The reimagined tracks from his last album, World Of My Own also pull you deeper into the fragile soul of the songs, exposing their own previously veiled subliminal narratives.

Helme's not content to let these songs gather dust in the studio, either. He's hitting the road, taking Forest For The Trees across the UK. If you're looking for a night of music that's raw, soulful, and just a little bit bruised, catching him live is an experience not to miss. This is a man who's spent thirty years pouring his heart into his craft and on this evidence, he's not done yet.

Expect an intimate, soul-stirring live show, with Helme's distinctive voice and raw acoustic arrangements bringing new life to well-loved tracks. Whether reimagining Seahorses classics, revisiting solo material, or performing stripped-back versions from his latest album, this is a performance that highlights the strength and craft of the songs themselves.
