New Single

Roll The Dice
by Raph Clarkson

“Dedicated to my sister Alisa and her husband Rob.

It was originally part of a series of songs I wrote during the 2020 lockdown, where I asked people to give me a prompt or a brief in terms of what they would like a song to be about, and/or how it might sound.

Alisa asked for a song about board games in the style of Busted. And so here we are!”

Wise and Waiting

“This Anglo-South African project builds and old jazz connections between the two countries to blend new music from both places into something fresh and rather inspiring.”

Songs for Childhood

Songs for Childhood is a collection of four songs, each dedicated to an individual young person. I originally wrote these songs as gifts near the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, and since then have become more and more passionate about childhood, and celebrating it: whether the childhoods of others experiencing it now, the childhoods of those of us for whom that time is now memory, and the childhoods of those to come in the future.

"The merging of the children's voices with the seasoned musicians works so beautifully well and the solos are so attuned to the mood."

"a supergroup… a raft of talent"
