The intro shredding and bell chimes from my new single Shchedryk (Carol Of The Bells). The acoustic guitar has an orchestra inside it if you look deep enough

Shchedryk merch has landed! Before it became Carol Of The Bells, the original lyrics were about the first swallow of spring arriving back in Ukraine. I imagined it flying in a storm. To me the music & image are about resilience in the face of brutality.

The intense bridge from Shchedryk. This section is my own addition to the Ukrainian original. I hope it's in keeping. It's cathartic to play, like screaming at the sky.

My new single is out one week today, Monday Dec 1st - my interpretation of the Ukrainian classic Shchedryk, aka Carol Of The Bells. You can pre-save the song at jongomm.com/shchedryk

I've poured everything into the arrangement, production, video, the artwork, to try to do justice to this music.

Nostalgia-fest: The first time this team made videos together was for Passionflower and Ain't Nobody, 14 (F-O-U-R-T-E-E-N) years ago. Filming something together again felt totally surreal and totally natural and the same time. 🤍

Don't doubt your power! I'd be nowhere without this phenomenon. (And I'm releasing something new for the holiday season in a few weeks, and I'm hoping to harness it again...)

Turns out when I'm full of cold, my ADHD medication doesn't work & my brain is full of squirrels. It's so difficult to play that way, I don't know how I ever did it. No wonder life was so stressful

Thanks for getting me through it Leeds! You made it glorious fun

Telepathy - A song from when my bad mental health messed up my ability to communicate with the people I love. Might take it for a spin on Sunday night in Leeds (the song not the bad mental health)

Wukan Motorcycle Kid from my album Secrets Nobody Keeps. A eulogy for the Siege of Wukan in 2011, when a village in China rose up against authoritarianism

I got the sanxian-esque sound by wedging a pick through some of the strings. (Tab at jongomm dot com)

The Kate Bush bit in Everything, from my album Secrets Nobody Keeps, live in Montreux. I love dropping quotes from other songs into my own songs, it's like dialling between radio stations

Blimey that is an old one! My autograph has evolved since then...
Broken, battered and bruised but finally back in my hands @jongomm.bsky.social

I skipped school a lot. People think atypical teenagers are being different on purpose to be cool. But you're not even cool, you're viewed with suspicion, or even bullied

I'd hide in music stores. Everyone is a musician, so it's chatting on easy mode. I go to them like old fellas go to barber shops
