Colin Gordon-Farleigh / Sheer Joy Music

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you have all been staying safe and well during this awful pandemic that has swept across the world, changing many things that we have always taken for granted, in some cases I suspect, for ever. Music, though, is still the balm for the weary soul, the lifter of spirits, the words of love and so much more, and it's music that links us together in so many ways.
I really appreciate the tremendous support that you all give to me, and I value each and every one of you beyond measure. In many ways, my music would lose it's value if it were not for people like you who support me in what I do and create, so a very big "Thank you" to each and every one of you.
Recently I was awarded the accolade of "Bluegrass Artist of the Year" by the Akademia Music Organisation for the 2nd year running, and I was also awarded a lifetime Artist Vision Award for "exceptional talent, originality and vision in the field of music". It makes me feel very humbled by such accolades.
Today marks the launch of my remodelled website! You can check it out by going to link On the site you can keep updated with all things to do with both Sheer Joy Music and myself.
Also new is the release of a great Country Gospel album on the SJM label by Sheer Joy Music. The tile is "It's All Because Of You" and the album has 11 tracks featuring singers such as Dick Damron, Ernie Rowell, Billy Keeble, Gar McCray and myself. read about it and listen to samples by following this link: link
Keep on staying safe and keep the music flowing!
In a couple of months time my new album, 'Friends & Heroes' is due to be released on the SJM label, so keep a lookout for more news about it. If the early mixes that I have heard are anything to go by then I feel certain that you are going to love it!

Hi Everyone,
In these worrying times My thoughts and prayers are directed to wards everyone in particular who matters the most in my life, my family, my friends and the many fans and supporters of my music. I hope that you will remain safe from this dreadful virus and stay well. Please heed the warnings to stay indoors as much as possible and don't expose yourself to catching the virus.
You all matter to me, and I would hate to lose any of you, so keep on enjoying the music!
I'm finalizing everything for my new album which is due for release in August . It's called "Friends & Heroes" and several of the tracks feature duets with friends such as Jimmy Payne, Brian 'The Hat', Ernie Rowell, Cindy Hall and Sandy Smolen. Keep on watching for more news. As a little taster, and only for you, I've attached a copy of the album cover to whet your appetite!
Thank you so much for all of your support!

Hi Everyone,

I would like to thank you all for the wonderful support that you have given to me over the past 12 months, and look forward to sharing the next part of my musical journey with you throughout 2020.

Hi Everybody,
First of all, let me wish all of you in the USA a very Happy Thanksgiving for the 28th! I wish I could be over there to celebrate it with you!
I really appreciate the support that you all give to me and am glad that you continue to give me both here on this site and elsewhere. It's the support given by you all that makes what I do even more worthwhile.
SJM have just released a new video of me singing the Classic Country song written by Mickey Jaco, "If You Were Mine To Lose", which is one of the songs on my album SECOND CHANCES. I would really appreciate it if you would check it out on YouTube and share it with your friends on social media.
I'm busy with a lot of projects at the moment, musically speaking, which will come to fruition over the next twelve months. One of them is the release of the first compilation album in a new series titled "My Music --- My Life". This first one is a compilation of love songs written by me and recorded by various artists. Over the next few months there will be albums featuring my Country Music songs, Country Gospel, Christian worship and Easy Listening released gradually. Keep a look out for them. Releases will be announced on my Facebook page.
You can find the new video via this link: YouTube

Blessings to you all,
Colin Gordon-Farleigh

Hi Everyone,
Thank you all for your continuing support which means a great deal to me. It's folk like you that make what I do all the more worthwhile! I've been both excited and humbled lately as I watch the number of 'plays' going up and up. Currently I have over 2.7 million, which is amazing!
Today I have added two more songs to my page on N1M. "The Weight of My Chains" is a great song written by my good friend and co-writer, the legendary Jimmy Payne, whilst the second song that I've added, "Things That Mean The Most' is a cover of a Country Music classic. Both songs are on my current album, 'Second Chances' which can be purchased from link by going to the music store at link
I hope that you will take the time to check them out!
