Warrington based artist Escapee (aka Graham Williamson) has premiered the video for his new single "Seventy Five".
Escapee forages in the past for influences citing 80s stadium rock right through to early 90s shoegaze. This is the second single released by the Warrington based project, the debut single 'Jodie's Ticket To Ride' was released in November 2021.
Williamson second single is dedicated to the hospital staff who saved his life after a battle with alcoholism. Warrington General Hospital staff took Graham in on a night in 2010 when he walked from Salford – where he was living – to Warrington and it was in the hospital he realised he was going to change his direction.
“I was taken in and they looked after me for a couple of nights and something happened in that hospital which changed me forever,” said Graham.
“If they hadn’t had looked after me that night, I don’t think I’d be alive and there would definitely be no Escapee.
“The humanity and care I received was fantastic. I will never be able to repay them.
“I came out of the hospital a changed man.”
The song is named ‘75’ and came about after Graham was playing about with a bassline by Peter Hook.
