about

Following Orders is the debut single by Lonan, an English folk trio based in Leeds. All proceeds of this track will be donated to the wonderful charity St. George's Crypt.

"Following Orders is about a man named Oz who I used to hang out with outside the 24 hour Kings Cross Mcdonald’s when I lived in London (2011). Kings Cross was an area attempting but failing to rapidly sanitize itself from a reputation of destitution, prostitution and addiction, in order to appear more attractive to tourists attending the 2012 London Olympics. Oz had a unique way of expressing his feelings towards life and strife in the ever-changing capital which is the tale I tried to capture. However, unfortunately the narrative of the tale is far too common; a person who has suffered the sacrifice of service; fighting in the Falklands war, but ending up homeless without support." - Robin Timmis

We have decided to release our first single early on Bandcamp with all of the proceeds going to St. George’s Crypt who do excellent work in Leeds providing shelter, food and support to the homeless and vulnerable.
