Slate, Sea and Sky rehearsal | Tom Hutchinson, Cory Band, Philip Harper | 2018

It was a real pleasure to work with Tom, Phil and the band this hot summer's evening - Tom had just returned from Australia but was on top form as ever!

Rehearsal of Slate, Sea and Sky at the Cory bandroom on 19 July 2018.

The title Slate, Sea and Sky is inspired by Norman Bissell’s evocative poem of the same name, found in a book of poetry given to me by a close friend, to whom the work is dedicated.

Slate, Sea and Sky is recorded on the album Angels Will Fall by Jim Hayes, The Co-Operative Band, Michael Fowles.

Slate, Sea and Sky

An island on the rim of the world

in that space between slate, sea and sky

where air and ocean currents

are plays of wild energy

and the light changes everything.
