It was a dream to arrange 'The Rowan Tree' for the end credits of #Livingfilm with @LisaKnappMusic (mixed by Lux Pyramid, mastered by James Trevascus). The film and OST are out today! @EmilieLF1's score is just brilliant - original, humorous and heartfelt https://t.co/GK3GDPxqPi

During lock-down I did a library project with @HugodeChaire It turns out there is nothing more comforting than the 80s film score back-catalogue. @WeAreKPM @ExtremeMusic This is our tribute to it! https://t.co/5AIsRfmwas

Woke up today with “The Rowan Tree” going round and round in my head having seen LIVING yesterday. Proud to have been #BillNighy’s singing teacher on such a beautiful film. 🙌🙌 just stunning @OliverHermanus 🙌🙌

[Katy Lee - @katyinparis on Bluesky @kjalee]

Thank you so much @jonhenley for this incredibly nice piece for the @guardian marking five years of @EuropeansPod. When you put it this way, we really have covered a lot of ground. Might we even say... a continent's worth?

Nobel-prize winner on why The Rowan Tree is moving film fans to tears in Living https://t.co/ENinoLdKKQ

[Joe Leydon @JoeLeydon]

Believe the hype: @sundancefest premiere "Living" is a deeply affecting drama -- and, yes, a worthy remake of Kurosawa's "Ikiru," one of my faves -- propelled by a career-highlight lead performance by #BillNighy. The final rendition of "The Rowan Tree" had me misty eyed.
