Great gig tonight at Unveiled in St Andrew's Church, as the conclusion to the One Beautiful World Arts Festival. Simon Law performed an enjoyable mix of covers and his own thought-provoking songs, many performed together with his son Reuben. Singer-songwriter Simon has fronted: “Sea Stone”, “INTRANSIT” and “Fresh Claim”; doing hundreds of gigs across the UK and Europe. All of his musical output is published by Sea Dream Music and released through Plankton Records -  https://planktonrecords.co.uk/events/simon-law-wickford-essex/ .
