Gerry Cinnamon tees up a huge summer by sharing his brand new single ‘Where We’re Going’. The track emerges ahead of the release of his eagerly anticipated second album ‘The Bonny’ in April.
 A remarkable live performer able to inspire electrifying, arena-wide singalongs from his devoted fanbase, Gerry will then spend the summer playing the biggest shows of his career to date. His headline shows are sold-out in advance - all 50,000 tickets for his homecoming show at Glasgow’s Hampden Park Stadium were snapped up within a day - and he’s also set to headline the Belsonic and This Is Tomorrow festivals. He’ll bring his summer festival schedule to a close at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, where he takes the penultimate slot to Liam Gallagher.
 In addition, last week also sees Gerry unveil the artwork to ‘The Bonny’ with the artist drawn to two iconic shots of life in the ‘60s and ‘70s for his alternating album covers.

On the first, a mother and child in their tower block flat, Gerry explains: “It’s the contrast between the foreground and the background that gets me. It’s the look in her eyes. Hypnotic. Look at the image as a whole, it looks concrete and dangerous but she looks strong... resilient. There’s not many things stronger in this life than a mother’s love for her kid. ‘The Bonny’ is just a metaphor for dreaming something into existence and building it bigger for the people you love. If that image doesn’t capture what ‘The Bonny’ is about, I don’t know what does. It tells a million stories.”
 ‘The Bonny’ is available to pre-order on both digital and physical formats. The CD and cassette formats both feature an alternate album cover, while four collectible vinyl editions will be available: standard black vinyl; a flame-esque red and orange vinyl available exclusively from Gerry’s official website; orange vinyl; and red vinyl that will be sold via select independent stores.
