Galen & Paul play a Sofa Session for Jo, including tracks from their debut collaboration Can We Do Tomorrow Another Day?

Galen & Paul is the new project from legendary bassist Paul Simonon (The Clash, Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad and The Queen) and the singer songwriter Galen Ayers.

Their debut album Can We Do Tomorrow Another Day? includes a collection of bilingual duets that explore European music cultures, from British Sea Shanties to French chansons. The seeds of the project were first planted during lockdown, when Paul began writing and collaborating with local musicians in a small Mallorcan fishing village. On arrival back in London 18 months later, Paul developed his ideas with Galen.

Galen and Paul join Jo live at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Maida Vale studios to play some of the tracks from this exciting new project, as well as a previously unheard cover!
