It was a fun concert to hear live, so would be a fab CD to own and replay each year!!
This has been a real passion project - grateful for any support or shares!
We're raising funds to make our next recording, Hey for Christmas! It's a programme we've been developing over the last few years in collaboration with Spinacino Consort. It brings to life a 17th-century family Christmas party in London.

Currently enjoying a large Negroni, with Strictly burbling on and hubby cooking dinner. Had a fabulous day in Chichester (can't believe I've not visited before) & loved learning Taverner and Part with @HarryBradford as part of the @TheSixteen choral pilgrimage.

I just finished writing up my latest cushion design. It's part of a marine life set I'm working on. As ever I added an "Easter egg" quote on the reverse for visitors to discover. I hope you like it!
