The album“Innovative exploration of the hurdy-gurdy and some utterly exciting compositions… gorgeous.” (DJ Ritu) “Terrific album” (Dave Eyre) “A dauntingly impressive debut… certainly the best hurdy-gurdy album in my entire collection.” (Andrew Rilstone, Bright Young Folk)
“Long time have I been waiting” mixes old and new, straight and experimental, traditional, self-written and improvised, English and French, tunes and songs, hurdy-gurdy, melodeon and voice. The album was mostly recorded by me on my own during 2011 in my kitchen in South London. A few friends also contributed – guitarist Franck Alba of indie soundscape collective Piano Magic, folk cellist Laura Victoria and experimental jazz musician Etmo.
Digital downloads are available from Bandcamp.
