Miranda Sykes' singing on 'Everything Possible' is a marvel. She opens up the voice as if entering a new spacious room. @jimcausley.bsky.social's singing is spellbinding, & his accordions, too, have voices, sometimes of a plaintive, almost French elegance. Warmly recommended!

In 'Elegy for Geraint' from @jimcausley.bsky.social 'The Georgic', a Welsh tune of grave beauty accompanies words from the Black Book of Camarthen. Devon's last king falls to the Saxons.... in a tribute sung with great restraint & dignity.

'My lady hath her sable coach
With horses two and four
My lady hath her black bloodhounds
That runneth on before..'
Two of my favourite singers! The rich tones of @jimcausley.bsky.social & the pure & strong voice of Miranda Sykes - & perhaps the most terrifying dogs in folksong! #folksong #devon

Bless you Alison for your kind and encouraging words β™₯️ some versions of the tale say she had a black dog with one eye that ran on before the coach and others say she herself took the form of a black dog and didn’t need the coach!! Xxx
