Fade to Grey

Following the success of his unique debut album Postcards From Lost Places, Cole Stacey returns with an acoustic, reflective and poignant reimagining of a genre transcending song written more than forty years ago. Having spent 10 years performing the song as part of Midge Ure's band and thus learning the song from one of its songwriters, this is a recording that shines a different light on a track that has shone brightly for so long.

"I feel like a humble custodian of a song that I've had the privilege of playing with Midge and the band across the world, it's a song that has played a massive role in my journey and I wanted to strip it back to its haunting melody and extraordinary words, to let it sing for itself. It's been a gift and I'm so grateful and fortunate to be sharing this adaptation, Midge's contribution is seismic in making this version glue together and become a record". CS.

Stacey offers a deeply personal interpretation of the track, recorded partly in a former Victorian clay factory in Devon. Featuring octave mandolin, bass, and vocals from Stacey, with Ure contributing guitars, this version casts new light on a song that has long held a place in music history.

This recording is both a tribute and a thank-you - to a song that has shaped generations, and to the musician who helped bring it into Stacey's world.
