John Wesley starts work on 7th album

John Wesley has begun work on the follow-up to solo album Disconnect, he’s confirmed.

The Fish and Porcupine Tree collaborator aims to start recording his seventh record later this year.

Wesley says: “I have begun sorting through ideas and directions for the next album, and I’ve started the process of writing pieces that will form the basis.

“I’ll be using much of the same team who recorded the last album, and I hope to begin tracking in the late spring or early summer.”

He plans to start introducing new material into his sets in and around Florida in the coming months.

Disconnect was among Prog’s Critics Choice Albums Of The Year – we said of Wesley: “He’s been hiding away too long.”

More details will be revealed in due course.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
