‘Good Tradition’ was the first song I recorded with @tanitatikaram.bsky.social back in 1988. It was joy to play then and still is - now with a coda! 🎻☀️😊🧡

We've had @tanitatikaram.bsky.social's new album LIAR (Love Isn't A Right) on repeat this week. Watching her perform it live with Helen O'Hara last night in Manchester was magic. We heartily recommend. It's beautiful.➡️ tt.bio.to/LIAR

An absolute joy to see Helen O'Hara play with Tanita Tikaram in Manchester last night. Great fun catching up with Helen afterwards too, with the super talented Katerina and Ollie, who had sung with RNCM orchestra in the astonishing Helen and Tim Burgess show earlier this year.
