From June 28th 2026 on Mike’s brand new record “The journey…. so far” will be available on the website of Charly Records!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reflective return and a statement of intent, \u2018Broken Rainbows\u2019 sees Mike D\u2019Abo revisit and reimagine a song first recorded for his 1974 A&M album. Newly reworked both musically and lyrically, the track emerges with renewed depth \u2013 its soulful delivery underscoring a message of resilience and hard-won optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the B-side, Mike D\u2019Abo strips things back to piano for an intimate, impassioned take on his enduring composition \u2018Handbags & Gladrags\u2019 \u2013 a song long embedded in the British songbook through iconic recordings by Chris Farlowe and Rod Stewart, and later reintroduced to a new generation by The Stereophonics, not forgetting its use as the theme to Ricky Gervais\u2019s The Office<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both tracks are lifted from the forthcoming album The Journey\u2026So Far<\/em>, due June 26th \u2013 an assured collection that reaffirms Mike D\u2019Abo\u2019s status as a distinctive and enduring voice in British songwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best known as the former frontman of Manfred Mann and writer of pop classics such as ‘Build Me Up Buttercup’ \u2013 revisited on his forthcoming album with a fresh interpretation \u2013 Mike D\u2019Abo continues to bridge eras with ease, honouring his legacy while pushing his craft forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
