Description

Inspired by the beautiful Soprano voice of Sonia Ruth and the ever luxurious tone of Soprano saxophonist Casey Greene, I set about writing On This Day around Easter 2009, with a view to recording it before the Summer Hols, and, with the good grace of friends managed to do just that towards the end of July at Emmanuel Church in Wylde Green, Sutton Coldfield.

I’ve just got to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who turned up on the day to make it at all possible and especially Nik de Paeztron for recording it.

Sadly, the road noise on the recoding meant I couldn’t use it on the Row of Ashes recording, so we re-recorded it in one of the large halls at The Walsall Arena and Arts Centre, with Phil Whittaker in charge of recording.

The work was used as part of the Row of Ashes album, which you can get here
