Just had an amazing weekend at the Sidmouth Jazz & Blues Fest! The seaside town was charming, and the music was phenomenal. Highlights: finally seeing Eric Bibb live, plus Martin Harley and JTQ were incredible. Also loved the educational sessions. #JazzFestival #LiveMusic

So exciting to get a song back from our mixing magician Paul - really pleased with how this one is shaping up. It's inspired by a Celtic saint and hunt saboteur... I got over-excited and made a linoprint for it as well... #Cornwall #FolkMusic

It's now a year since I started learning harp. It's wonderful playing an instrument that sounds lovely even when I play the wrong notes. I'm not the only one in the family who loves playing harp! #Cats #MusicalCats #harp #trouble

Meet the band: Chris grew up in Hampshire, spending most of his time extracting footballs from nettle patches. He also loved playing music, finding his voice on saxophone. He spends much of his spare time looking for wildlife wherever he happens to be, & playing music with anyone who will let him.
