Wound Turned To Light: recording James Rolfe's songs in Toronto, August 2022

I’ve just returned to the UK after a wonderful two weeks of recording with Alex Samaras, Jeremy Dutcher and Andrew Adridge at Toronto’s Canterbury Studios. Our three days in the studio (August 19-21) were preceded by an 18th August outing at the Canadian Music Centre with a number of the project’s poets offering recitations of their work before our performances. We all look forward to a launch of the recording in 2023.
