A studio session this week with my YSJ colleague Sarah-Jane Gibson, recording a couple of songs, including my 'Snow'. Sarah-Jane has an amazing voice and I'm looking forward to sitting down to edit these tracks in the next few weeks.
Our new 5-star-reviewed album includes the premiere of the beautifully chilly Feathers by
