This year has already brought some big changes for me, including a new role as Artistic Director of the National Youth Folk Ensemble, and the end of our time with @moiraitrio. I’ve written a few lines about it all in my newsletter:

Dear friends - this has not been an easy decision but to quote Chaucer “All good things must come to an end”.
We have reached that time where we will be putting Moirai aside.
Please see our full farewell statement over on our Facebook page:
