Have you ever wanted to listen to both the Holst and the Darke settings of In the Bleak Midwinter at the same time? Look no further than this version I arranged a couple of years ago, recorded by my duo ‪@peeriefaeries‬ ! Happy Christmas! 🎄

This is the other song I recorded as part of this year's digital Samhuinn festival!

I've been taking part in this year's digital Samhuinn festival by singing some Gaelic songs! Have a watch to hear my rendition of Mo Luaidh Mo Leanabh while playing a poverty-stricken mother. A slightly more upbeat one will hopefully be forthcoming in the near future!

It's been exactly a year since I posted the completed version of Hide Away. Bored by lockdown and missing musical collaboration, I was excited and inspired to do my own take on @just-tea's brilliant COVID nursery rhyme. I didn't expect anywhere near the level of attention and praise it got, but I'm hugely grateful to anyone who's given my little song a listen.
Twelve months later, we're still locked down, but there's hope on the horizon in the form of the vaccine. Who knows what the future holds, but I hope everyone is staying safe as best they can. Thank you again for giving me such a lovely boost during this horrible year! 🎶💖

Hello all! I've never made one of these "community posts" before, but I thought this might be a good way to let people know that, after many months of people asking, I have finally got on the spotify train!
So far only Hide Away is up there, but more may be added in due course, so please stream away: open.spotify.com/album/7BEXfFdSNWKy88Gl9pVpyX
The track is also still on bandcamp and will remain here on YouTube: alicedillon.bandcamp.com/
I hope everyone's keeping well during the continuing lockdowns. 😊
