THE MUSIC: LOVE SONGS FOR THE END OF THE WORLD
Will be released 30 October 2026
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have a heart like a broken clock? If you had 24 hours before the world ended, what kind of love song would you write? And what led the unknown woman of the Seine to become the most kissed face in history? Discover the answers to these questions and many more on Never The Twain’s debut album, Love Songs for the End of the World, to be released on 23rd October 2026.
Each of Stevie Simkin’s songs, driven by his distinctive fingerpicking style and Dan Conroy’s fluid, lyrical violin, find their place in arrangements that vary from solo vocal/guitar or dobro, via guitar/violin/piano/bass and harmonised voices, to full electric band performances that reference classic Americana and even Neil Young vibes on the haunted, agonised “The Lucky One”.
Twelve songs that breach divisions between folk and country, acoustic singer-songwriter and melodic guitar-driven rock. Twelve love songs for the end of the world.
PERFORMING LIVE
For one night only, a full electric band will recreate the album arrangements. Get ready to be rocked and rolled, lulled and heartbroken.
ALBUM LAUNCH SHOW RAILWAY INN, WINCHESTER 25 OCTOBER 2026
30th October is the album’s release date for streaming platforms but CDs (including download codes) will be available on the night, five days before the streaming release. A premium-priced ticket entitles you to a free copy from the merch table, giving you £3 off the full price of the gatefold CD and its 12-page booklet!
Support comes from popular local band The Ben Poore Project, a folk-rock leaning collective built around the songs and stories of Southampton-based Singer-Songwriter Ben Poore: acoustic guitars, storytelling lyrics, and arrangements that leave room for the audience to step into songs about the things most of us quietly carry: lost friendships, late-night doubts, breakups that shouldn't have hurt but did, tiny victories that mattered more than we admitted, and the kind of messy joy you only notice when you look back.
