Pandemic Songs CD – Robb Johnson & The Irregulars (IRR114)

‘Pandemic Songs’ uses songs to provide a media-free perspective of contemporary history, with thirteen tracks written between March & June of this year, that record & comment on the global pandemic, from Robb’s local UK perspective. The songs are angry, sad, affectionate, elegiac, satirical, anxious, & compassionate. They celebrate our lives in lockdown & the endurance of our keyworkers, & catalogue the vanities, incompetence, hypocrisy & failures of those in power. The album was recorded with a socially-distanced pared-down version of The Irregulars.
