Burns reflects on the moments that shaped his songwriting and the personal journey behind his new album 'Waking Up in a Northern Town'.

There's been a long tradition of musicians from the north of England honouring their origins through their
recordings - one that dates back as far as The Beatles' penning 'Penny Lane'.
'North Country Boy', 'Hit The North', 'Life In A 'Northern Town', 'The North At Its Heights', 'It's Grim Up North' -
just a few of the dozens that, over the following years, have championed its mass.
Both culturally and creatively, the North tends to form more than the average core of an artist's identity. It's
derived from a strong sense of pride in one's place -- not just its achievements, but in its character, humour, and
resilience. Up north, 'grey' isn't seen as bleak, but as honest and real: a backdrop that has shaped an
unpretentious outlook on all things 'life'. It engenders a sense of working through adversity, and through that,
producing something vital, expressive and, well, frankly ... elevated.
Now, through his third album dispatch, 'Waking Up In A Northern Town', singer, songwriter and BBMAK vocalist,
Christian Burns makes his own mark in this grand practice.
