Word of the Day (because it’s about time) is ‘respair’, from the 16th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. One of too many lost positives we could do with bringing back.

Wishing everyone a gruntled, gormful, ruthful and feckful New Year, full of respair.

[Gothic Voices @gothicvoicesuk]

We’re all VERY excited at the imminent release of our new recording of some incredible music by France’s greatest pre-Renaissance composer, Guillaume Dufay. If you’d like to know more, then click below.......
