It was a race to the finish line to have the products ready for Woodford festival but we did it! Louisa Wise's album Sweet Birds got pressed last week and looks fantastic. Geoff le Blanc did some gorgeous artwork and Louisa herself is sounding pretty really great.
There are 15 previously unrecorded originals mostly just with Louisa herself playing and singing but joined in places by her daughters Ruth, Lucy and Rowena, Geoff on accordion and myself on a few stringy things.
All the recording was done in living rooms in Thornbury with the aid of lots of cups of tea and swapping of favourite films and recipes.
We had to call it quits at the bed track stage when we reach 35 songs so with more in the wings this initial body of work might just be the beginning!
