Across the world it was the same story, empty streets, vacant playgrounds, people locked behind glass, withheld from human touch, civil unrest, doors kept closed and yet amongst all this sadness, there were touching visions in the goodness of the human heart with the courage and compassion of front line workers. This collection of songs captures some of the profound feelings & inner reflections that were stirred while facing oneself during this period of isolation. They are intimate and moving in their essence with a sublime and thoughtful honesty driven by Domenic’s evocative and tender vocals.  The album is filled with beautifully crafted songs, compelling performances and glistening harmonies, which he has become well known for over the years. The music explores emotive singer-songwriter pieces such as Faded Stone and Yesteryear to more rhythmic and upbeat songs like the title track, Never Letting Go and the riveting Call for Freedom.... Instruments Used incude:  acoustic & electric guitars, mandolin, Cretan Laouto, harmonica, Native American flutes & drums, cello, violin, accordion and Bodhrans.
