At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month….. there was peace. Once upon a time.
In honour of all the fallen, particularly the memory of those from the the Great War of 1914-1918 we suggest you buy this moving new recording from Phil Baggaley’s band, The Open Road. You can download your copy of ‘An Old Soldier’s Dream of Home’ here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/old…
In aid of the British Legion Poppy Appeal, available on iTunes, Amazon & all good download sites.
November is here and the shops are already displaying Christmas trees, decorations, and (heaven forbid) already playing Christmas music! We are not amused. All the delights of Thanksgiving (in the USA) and Advent still to come. Far to early in our humble opinion.
So we recommend a riotous selection of Mr Don’s superb Electronica music to clear our heads and hearts in preparation for all the forthcoming delights of December!
Thank you to those who have sent enquiries regarding Charlotte Parmiter’s folk album. Without getting too technical on you all, the producers have decided to re-record her original vocals and the main guitar/mandola parts again before Jon Kelly begins the final mixes. Her vocals were re-recorded in London in early October, and work is now starting on the guitars and mandola re-recording. Watch this space for further updates. It is sounding wonderful, and will be worth the wait.
Best wishes for a happy Autumn/Fall from all of the Little Room team.
We are delighted to raise a glass to all those monks and nuns around the world who have wisely taken to heart the words of St. Paul to Timothy. (1 Timothy 5, v.23 “Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach and for your frequent ailments…” These dedicated cloistered monks and nuns have given us some of the best beverages with which to help celebrate all the blessings of this life. Here are three of the best…..
The Benedictine monk, Don Bernardo Vincelli, created the recipe for this French liqueur which includes the extracts from twenty seven different plants and spices.
Trappist ale is made behind ancient abbey walls in Belgium and the Netherlands, under the supervision of monks from the Trappist branch of the Cistercian monastic order.
Blanquette de Limoux was first made by the monks of the St. Hilaire monastery, in the Pyrenean foothills, just south of Carcassonne to their unique recipe. It was first produced in 1530 to a recipe which pre-dates champagne by over one-hundred years.
Cheers!
September…and a resounding conformation of all things Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English. Thankfully, we can continue to enjoy the unique diversity of the beautiful British Isles. So we thought it would be appropriate to feature the music of Scottish Clarsach player and folk singer Katie Targett Adams to celebrate.
In other news, re-recording and editing of vocals tracks in North London to perfect Charlotte Parmiter’s new album.
String quintet and guitar additions and overdubs to David Clifton’s sacred songs recordings at Fifth Avenue with Will Reagan co-producing. Vocal overdubs with Scott Minor at Wild Chorus studios for his folk/roots project. Ambient guitar and violin recordings underway too, we hear.
Gabriel is travelling and making more of that big old trombone music, so please be patient if you have e-mailed the office and not yet had a yet. We’ll be in touch with you soon.
Plans to upload sheet music for our most popular recordings are taking shape, and we are sorting out the best formats with payment options. Won’t be long.
Happy Autumn and Fall to you all, as we enjoy watch those kaleidoscope colours paint the trees again.
…and hope that you are too! Don’t forget your bucket and spade…and sun-tan lotion.
