There are some experiences you just know are going to stay with you for a lifetime.

Monday’s @wigmore-hall.org.uk
recital by @errollynwallen.bsky.social & Ruby Hughes was one of those!

Sublime renditions of Errollyn’s songs, beautifully juxtaposed with songs by Benjamin Britten and Charles Ives.

Praise from our cultured cousins North of the Border:

"In an album of works written over two decades, the BBC Concert Orchestra under conductor John Andrews illustrate the instinctive eclecticism that gives Wallen’s music its instant accessibility and charm." @errollynwallen.bsky.social
Album reviews: Tide Lines | Willie Nelson | Màiri Morrison & Alasdair Roberts
Tide Lines celebrate their adopted city of Glasgow without really capturing its essence, while Willie Nelson remains prolific and relevant, writes Fiona Shepherd
