‘Growing Flowers by Candlelight’ is the debut album by Ainslie Henderson. Recorded and released entirely independently through his own Edinburgh based label, Amphibian Husbandry, Ainslie has created a personal and touching album. Produced by Hobotalk's Marc Pilley, ‘Growing Flowers...’ captures a unique and intimate quality reminiscent of Nick Drake and REM at their acoustic best. Featuring honest and well-penned melodies of heartbreak and longing, nurtured late at night with great care; best enjoyed around 3am with a glass of red wine, it is an album which will whisper comfort to hopeless romantics and lost souls.

Available on CD from ainsliemusic.com (Ainslie signs all copies sold through the site and ships worldwide), or on digital download from iTunes, Amazon, Napster, etc.
