‘A Long While’ is a preview from WiL’s 7th studio album, written, recorded and entirely self produced at his home studio over the course of fourteen months. Each song came into fruition at different times while juggling stints writing commercial compositions, commercial fencing (the kind that keeps cows and horses from roaming around freely) and playing live shows with his steadfast band mates, Keith Gallant (drums) and Lena Birtwistle (keys and vocals).
The workload may sound daunting but its the balance of those three that help WiL focus on his ultimate goal and that is to play music live - on stage - to people who care enough to listen - until he’s dead and buried. If you’re a fan reading this, don’t worry! He’s alive and quite well. In fact, his weekly sessions in the dojo help him stay fit so that he retains his reputation for putting on a live show that has been coined by more than a few critics and fans alike as ‘legendary’.
