A big joy to share the stage with two of my favourite musicians last night, Brett Dean aka Dad and Julius Drake 💛 thanks to Shelley and Peter for having us at their gorgeous house concert series in Devon, and to Dora the fox red lab for the cuddles. More from this trio soon!

One month until this disc is released! The amazing James Way sings the complete Britten Canticles for @delphianrecords.com — it’s been a big joy to join him + Natalie Burch for Canticle II: ‘Abraham and Isaac’ over the last few years. I ADORE this piece, really v honoured to have recorded it!
