Great evening at Hoxton Folklore with @prxludes.bsky.social & Standard Issue - especially enjoyed Kian Ravaei & Holly Gowland pieces. Really nice friendly atmosphere too!
I had the privilege of being invited by the music blog 15 Questions to have an interview on their site, ahead of the first @prxludes.bsky.social event at Folklore Hoxton next Thursday.

A photograph from 2020 tweeted by Alice H. Jones of a protest placard she made bearing the names of Black composers, the first of which is Vicente Lusitano (1520 - c.1561).
