Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis at The Tabernacle London

Well, ladies and gentlemen, exactly three years ago, I had a 72-hour lightning trip to London for a special weekend with fan friends and a fantastic evening of music at The Tabernacle London in Notting Hill with the one and only Damian Lewis.

Each original track on the album carries a deeply personal story. And in this “Song of the Week” series, I aim to dive into those stories one by one, sharing all the insights I can uncover about each song.
