COVID Diary : All for Nothing?
by
I’ve hopefully articulated on these pages how tough the last 18 months have been, but a couple of things happened recently that got me thinking: Was the cause really anything to do with COVID after all? As we approach Freedom Day tomorrow (19th July 2021), and numbers are once again on the increase, have we…
COVID Diary: Christmas Chaos
by
2020’s been a chance to wind down in a lot of ways, but with Christmas now just around the corner, things look to be hitting fever pitch again. With the infection rate coming down and the vaccine on its way I was hopeful for 2021….. Until the UK Government decided to allow everyone to spend…
In Our Hands (For all those we’ve lost)
Here’s my new song: In Our Hands, with it’s accompanying video. Written, produced, and performed by Adam Harkus.

COVID Diary: Reasons to be Optimistic

As we approach the end of 2020, I can’t help but feel optimistic about the COVID situation in the New Year. We’re about to go through the peak, right? For me, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the current situation. Take the quadruple whammy of Halloween, Guy Fawkes, Our 6-year-old son’s birthday, and…
COVID Diary: We’re lost in Music
by
How the guitar, songwriting, and music production helped me through the COVID pandemic. Looking back, March 2020 was a crazy month. Leaving the office to work from home, the lockdown, and an end to gigs for the foreseeable future. But it was also a really productive time for me, a time of renewal. I’d got…
