Grateful to see Bheki Mseleku’s Beyond The Stars in @thewiremagazine top 50 archive releases of 2021. With thanks and gratitude also to @eugeneskeef 🙏

This is such a proud moment - delighted to be able to share this music and visuals with the wider world! 🌀 #thespiralisvital 🌀

An incredible project. Breaking down barriers and borders.

Lucky Ranku was one of the great guitarists of his era, and ‘Down Lucky’s Way’ was his masterpiece - a beautiful, plangent, hypnotic record. It’s one of the rarest albums of its time and 1 of 2 Malombo albums we’re preparing for release in late 2021... info on the other soon!

We have just put another 50 copies of Bheki Mseleku’s Beyond The Stars up on our bandcamp page since the first batch sold out quick. Check it here -> tapestryworks.bandcamp.com and thanks to everyone for their support and kind words thus far.

@burn_amb One of the best books ever written on jazz / being a jazz musician

.In case you missed it - you can listen to ⁦@TheonCross⁩ talking influences on ⁦@BBCRadio3⁩. And plenty of other great music too!
