These are exciting times for everyone involved with John McKeown’s music. The debut single, ‘Fade Away’ will be released in less than three weeks and the album is not far behind that.

On Monday ‘Things Worth Fighting For’ took on a whole new life as John McKeown and co. met to start rehearsals for the album’s showcase. If the first rehearsal is anything to go by then the 10th September is destined to be a very significant day in the rock ‘n’ roll history books.

John called on his friends and colleagues Elliott Randall and Reverend Basil Meade to assemble the finest musicians capable of bringing this album to the stage. During this first rehearsal the calibre of the team shone through vividly.

‘Things Worth Fighting For’ may be one man’s album but he is a man with an epic vision; a vision that will see 25 stellar musicians teaming up to recreate an ambitious and excellently crafted album.

I was invited to take photos of the first rehearsal. Take a look at the photos below to see what went on.
