about

Last year, Highgrove Church (which I call home) pulled together an awesome little folky carol service. It was a lovely, home-grown, wonky and beautiful time. We had no plans to do anything with the recording - but re-discovering the tracks in the height of lockdown, isolated from our friends and most of all, unable to sing together, we thought we needed to put something out there. Singing together, singing the old songs linking the generations, is something precious.

So here it is - with all the missed notes, imperfections and my sore throat.

This little collection features lots of influences - from traditional Irish airs, to George Ezra and Shane McGowan. We hope you enjoy it! Until we sing together again x x x

(All sale proceeds go to the amazing charity One25))
