Silver Lining by Good Guy Hank
Good Guy Hank would like to thank:
Our families and friends for their endless love, support and remarkable levels of tolerance over these past few years!
Every single one of you music-loving folks for listening, singing, dancing, and making up the audiences we most absolutely love performing for! All the venues, promoters, booking agents, festival organisers, and publicans who have provided stages on which to perform- we’re incredibly fortunate to be able to share our music with so many friendly folks, in so many wonderful places!
Huge thanks and boundless love to our creative family who joined us on this adventure -
James Mackintosh, Spider MacKenzie, Stuart Nisbet, Kirsten Adamson, Ross Ainslie, Robert Hart, Ben Harrison, Allison de Groot, Robin Wynn Evans, Sean Sullivan, Isaac Barter and everyone behind the scenes who has lent us a space to crash, gear to rehearse and perform with, or fed and watered us (you know who you are and you make our world go round!). We’d also like to add enormous thanks to: Birnam CD for physical and online production, Isla Barnard and Callum Merriman for web design, and Matt & Joey Baker for photos and videos.
Finally, we cannot thank Creative Scotland enough for the funding provided to make Silver Lining. It goes without saying that their backing has enabled us to realise the album of our dreams, with the help of such a prodigious cast of musicians and engineers.
Silver Lining is very much the sum of all these beautiful parts and we’re extremely proud to present it to you!
