Mark Hole is a gifted actor from the Webber-Douglas drama school in London who has successfully focused on a music career. He produced a captivating debut album, F Sharp, and recently supported Tori Amos on her European tour.

Torture Garden is released on Monday 12th March 2012. It was produced by Kevin Porée at Berry Street Studio. The string arrangement is by Matheson Bayley, drums by Dan Wylie and bass by Bob Desborough.

This beautiful and soulful ballad, with superb melodic vocals from Mark Hole, is about the heartbreak he suffered following the breakdown of a cherished love affair. It has great charm, depth and richness and its string arrangement is breathtaking. Without being pretentious, this is an intense, emotional and captivating song.
