Shelfies #42: James Blaylock

#NowPlaying Michael Nyman - "The Kiss And Other Movements"
A bit of a grab-bag, but there's some wonderful music on this album. "The Nose-List Song", from Sterne's "Tristram Shandy", is a particular favourite Very funny. "Water Dances" are great, too. Very energetic.

Cannot recommend a visit to Shandy Hall enough.
Time's running out to see the Glen Baxter exhibition at Shandy Hall (ends 14th Sept) The orchard is full of fruit, the shop has lots of great books (Christmas presents!) The seasons are rolling on. Shandy Hall closes at end of September. Come and enjoy the sunshine while you can!
