So this is the day! 20 years on from the Ella Guru album, ‘The Quiet Portraits’, is released into the world. I hope you enjoy it and it becomes a world you can inhabit for a while. Thanks to Violette and everyone involved along the way. If you like, please spread the word.❤️🎧

Thanks to Mark Whitfield, editor of Americana UK for his kind words on The Quiet Portraits. “One of the most sonically layered engaging records I’ve listened to in a long time. An album of the year”. ❤️
