Autumn Wedding
Autumn is a beautiful time to have a wedding as the days get crisper and the leaves turn to gorgeous golden browns. This wedding at the sumptuous White Light venue set a picturesque backdrop for an Autumn Wedding.
The wedding colours were warm rustics and natural elements, as well as some beautiful pink roses.

Violin Sessions
Another online violin session done and dusted. It is so interesting to play the varied range of compositions that come through for session work. Today’s one was a little country number about a dorpie.
New Music Friday
The Wheel Keeps Turning (instrumental)-A rock inspired instrumental
This instrumental version of Wheel Keeps Turning (vocal version as recorded by Cherry Pill) reflects the the ever-changing seasons of life. The song draws on imagery from the world around to represent how life and times can change.
‘Seasons come, seasons go, but there’s one thing that I know; it’s that the wheel comes around again’.
The song could be described as well delivered rock sound where the solo violin melody pairs up with the gritty guitars, including some blues-tinged phrasing and a bit of dramatic flair in the string accompaniment.

Love is in the Air
‘Let’s do it, let’s fall in love’…. so goes the chorus of Cole Porters memorable song ‘Let’s fall in Love’.
With spring in the air and blossoms on the trees, Shepstone’s Garden was a perfect setting for this mid-week engagement event… and she said yes!
