Over the summer we were thrilled to support artist Joshua Henderson in launching his debut album 'Songs of Liverpool for Friends', and this week we are pleased to report that Josh's album is now being stocked by music giants HMV in their Liveprool store.
The learning-disabled artist officially launched his first album, Songs of Liverpool for Friends, with a special performance at the Bluecoat in June of this year. Upon the album's release, Josh was hoping to reach a target of 500 streams online but has smashed this target, receiving over 2,500 streams of his songs in less than six months.
The album is now available in the Williamson Square store. Featuring all original songs, the recordings are a love letter from Josh to the city he grew up in.
Josh said: “Liverpool is my home city. Liverpool is my favourite place. It’s where I do my art, and I like the buildings; they calm me. I like to go down on a sunny day and get on the ferry. I love feeling the breeze and looking over at the city.”
