SOCIAL ISOLATION!


In this time of 'lock down' or 'social isolation' at least at the moment due to the pandemic for Corvid-19 (a virulent global coronavirus outbreak) people are trying all sorts of different things like teaching on line (I have to give a shout out to my dear friend Johnny Hinkes (of The Prairie Clams) who is offering face-2-face Skype guitar lessons on his facebook page) a lovely live post from super naturalist @ChrisGPackham discussing his garden and the lesser celandines he found beneath his tree (sic) from Ricky Gervais checking in daily with a comedy spot ad lib to help make us laugh and artists posting live music for fun, I was ecstatic to see on Facebook yesterday the wonderful Emily Barker post a live song of hers from a previous album as it occurred to her, she sang 'Billowing Sea' from her work with The Red Clay Halo 

 . . . which reminded me of how much I enjoyed the work of not only her but was suddenly reminded of Alexi Murdoch and played this following track but his webpage is always worth following too!
