Craig Fortnam, North Sea Radio Orchestra: floorboards & fortuitous affiliation

Craig Fortnam is by no means a stranger to the Buds & Spawn stage, we've hosted him under his Arch Garrison moniker and playing his solo work. But to have him bringing his wonderful chamber ensemble, ...

"Tim Smith's music was such a strong influence, I found it very difficult writing music that didn’t just sound like crap Cardiacs. It took me about ten years really to figure out a way of having my own voice."

Fascinating interview with @craigfortnam.bsky.social.

I can heartily recommend North Sea Radio Orchestra’s new album for Sunday morning listening. Craig’s such a talent and his stuff is so recognisably HIM. Love it. northsearadioorchestra.bandcamp.com/album/specia...

This week's musical discovery: the North Sea Radio Orchestra, which I found out about through the music of @craigfortnam.bsky.social who has solo work but is the NSRO's musical director. It's one of those "Why did it take me so long to learn about them?" moments.

Here is another new song - I guess you'd call it a country waltz.
