This Saturday, Olwen Ringrose is performing at Live Lounge at Holy Nativity. Ruth and I will be playing support for an hour before hand. Doors open at 5pm. There will be a fully licensed bar! We would love to see you there!
Making Music
Those who know me well often say that I try to do too many things and there are only so many hours in the day. At the beginning of the year I made a vlog about how I was going to prioritise things in the coming years. Our band Metanoia have been in the recording studio making music which we hope to release in the runup to Christmas. Mike came over to record keys this week and we are all having a lot of fun in the creative process. Now we are on the final straight I need to ensure I don’t lose focus and get sucked into the usual cycle of procrastination!
Christmas | Geraldine Latty + Kate Simmonds
It is no secret that Ruth and I love music by Geraldine Latty. She has recently collaborated with Kate Simmonds on a whole album of Christmas songs. Some are suitable for choirs, some for soloists and some for children. Those of us who know our Christmas Carols will spot some familiar themes and repurposed lyrics thrown into the mix with a modern gospel feel. Even better news, they are giving the sheet music away for free over on Geraldine’s website.
Why not give it a listen and see if there’s something to put into your Christmas services.
