Speaking about album track ‘British Summer Time’, Wallace said: “I like to see young people enjoying themselves as long as they don’t do it too near to where I’m standing and I find that parks are one of the best places to observe such goings on at a safe distance. I wrote this song sat in Regents Park one sunny afternoon and simply made a note of everything I saw.”

The album’s full tracklisting is:

‘Brave Little Soldiers’

‘Speak Less And Listen’

‘British Summer Time’

‘A Fearless Heart’
