Bill Ryder-Jones is a former member of The Coral. At 30, his mental health problems almost retired him from music.

At 40 he releases a beautiful and strange album . In 2016, long before mental health was talked about as openly as it is now, he starred in A Light Went Out, a short documentary about mental health in the industry. In it he told of his problems since, as a child, the death of his older brother, who fell from a cliff on vacation, destroyed his family.
