Poetry In Ayre

Busking the Waterloo Market with my small harps

  Since composing my first piece, Ancient Depths, I have been putting poetry to music. Thomas Moore, William Blake, Walter de la Mare and Gareth Hurwood have been my inspirations for this recording.
A tapestry has been created; a balance between poetic imagery, voice and harp.
What you hear is what I see. Close your eyes and listen.....and then you can truly see.
