From Crazy Man Michael to The Lakes of Ponchartrain, Simon takes you on an exploration of fateful stories of folk’s lovable rogues, hapless adventurers and hopeless romantics.  

"And as he maintained eye-contact with each and everyone and the attention of the audience, as a storyteller would in crucial moments, I wondered how one could be so relaxed and passionate at the same time, betraying both experience and care for his work. A real uncomplicated pleasure to listen to". (1 in Music Magazine)

An unabashed lovers’ leap into songs of tenderness, passions, foolishness, and a little of what you fancy! 

“There’s a thoughtful artist at work here. Love, of course, is the overall theme and Cousins treats it as a proud celebration. He embraces the idea and accepts the complications that may arise from being in that place. Love is a journey that’s being explored” (Liverpool Acoustic Review)
