I cannot wait to share these fantastic songs with you all!
We are absolutely buzzing after a fantastic recording session today at Green Velvet Studios, Stockport, where we recorded learning resources for 'Songs of the Earth' - six brand new songs written by Hannah King following our Laudato Si' Centre workshops last year.
