I’ll probably get my account closed for this. This amazing book was just awarded this year’s British Book Award for Freedom to Publish alongside Virginia Giuffre’s Nobody’s Girl and the awards team had to BLUR THE COVER due to a legal order. It is an absolute must read, I urge everyone to read it. What this company are doing to our world is absolutely disgusting. Horrific.

As part of our recording sessions back in Summer 2025 at St Augustine's Church, Penarth, Sarah Dacey and Nancy Johnson recorded my set of Four Meditations on Texts by Ibn al-Arabi. The texts are short extracts from Muwashshahaat by Ibn al-Arabi in a translation by Ed Emery and Federico Corriente, exploring grief and the limits of rationality. Here's the first of them - recorded by the brilliant @tycerdd recording team of James Clarke and Ethan Davies with support from Cardiff University School of Music. The score is available from @composersedition .

Surviving some dull train delays on a Friday morning deserves an insane beverage. Verdict? I’m getting a distinct nose of vanilla cupcakes and grass. Looking fwd to finally reaching Snape Maltings at some point….🤞🏻

Lovely concert in London on Friday inspired and including piano music by Satie and new responses by living composer, of which I'm one! Duncan Honeybourne is incredible so this will be lush. I can't make it, sadly, but so thrilled it's happening.

This year is the brilliant @paragonsingersbath ' 50th birthday celebrations, and we have some INCREDIBLE events coming up... Firstly is this Saturday 21 March @bathabbey , a promenade performance featuring a world premiere written by @sdacey alongside music by Byrd, Victoria, MacMillan, Panufnik and Todd 😍 Join us in this stunning space for a concert in which we sing from all corners of the Abbey, and you can move freely with the choir, discovering music from 500 years of the choral tradition as you go... Hope to see you there! Tickets from @bathboxoffice #oldmusic #newmusic #whatsonbath #concertsbath #livemusicbath

Behold the beautiful Billie the Ginge. She’s 12 (they think..), a cancer survivor (cats don’t get a glass eye option), very fussy about her food (it MUST be a ‘surf n turf’ trio combo otherwise she’ll pin you down very very solemnly) and she is a total cuddle monster. She is very much enjoying being a lady of leisure and naps all over the flat, sometimes face down. I have managed to trim ONE NAIL in the space of 3 weeks so any advice on how to improve that stat would be gratefully received 😭🤣 and yes, we have tried a nail sander lols

Because that’s what everyone is missing from their bathtimes…A LIFESIZED GOLDEN FALCON. Only in Mayfair would a shop deem this an essential item.

We had a wonderful time performing to an appreciative London audience @unionchapeluk last weekend. It was lovely to get such a positive review in @the_arts_desk as well: "Beautiful singing at the heart of an imaginative and stylistically varied concert" "One of the most innovative vocal groups around" " @sdacey 's 'All that we see' presented its text, taken from a medieval Arabic scientist, with a suitably wide-eyed sense of discovery. Scattered bits of speech sat within harmony that was reminiscent of Gesualdo and the equivocal ending was beautifully judged" "The spectacular opening organ crescendo of @comeauben 's 'Enter the Tumultous Night' explored the full range of the Union Chapel instrument... enjoyably ambitious writing" "Dancer @jamalsterrett performed three numbers; his infinite flexibility and grace were hypnotic" "Stylish singing by @gabriellaliandu " "I haven't heard it done better; @margaretlingas ' solo floating into the church's roof" " @sarah_latto 's leadership of the group was, like her spoken links, both reassuringly down-to-earth and skybound: her fluid conducting gestures have a weightlessness that lets the singing fly" Thank you to everyone who came out to see it 💃. We'll be touring this programme next summer 🌒 🌑 🌙. Credit to @gala_photo_uk for these wonderful pics and video clips ✨ P.S. Let us know if you can identify any of the musical clips we've shared here ! 🤓 💯 #livemusic #review #choir #innovation

RIP Harlequin aka Harley. The most beautiful treasure, taken from us by some fucking speeding driver who didn’t slow down a country road when they should have. You took our lovely sweet girl from us, may you rot in hell. I am bereft.

‼️ World premiere alert ‼️ We are excited to be giving not just one, but TWO world premieres at our Union Chapel gig next Sunday. The first is by @sdacey , a composer and soprano who is co-founder of the critically acclaimed @juicevocal , and performs with the contemporary music group @riotensemble and vocal quartet Vocastrale. Her music has been played on BBC Radio 3 and recent commissions include arrangements for viol ensemble Fretwork and electronic music for improv specialists Galvanize. Sarah's theatre composition includes site specific works for the National Theatre, Orange Tree Theatre, Gestalt Arts and Folkestone Triennial. Sarah says, "I'm thrilled to be writing something for Echo Vocal Ensemble; they are such a vibrant ensemble of incredibly versatile singers. Their creative programming and dedication to new music is really exciting and innovative, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where they take my piece" #livemusic #unionchapel #whatsoninlondon #commission #oldmusic #newmusic
