Just because Carinthia mentioned pomegranates. And because it’s rather wonderful:

The wonderful Karen Matheson. Used know their original recorder player, Marc Duff, quite well when I lived in London. He was studying at Trinity at the time and we used meet up at the same sessions.

Her voice moves me to tears, every time I hear it. Memories of a bothy on the Kyle of Durness, Balnakeil Bay, Cape Wrath…fab.

Speaking of which, here they are with Marc - who’s actually playing a recorder that used to belong to me! They had all their instruments and equipment stolen after a gig, so those of us that could rallied round. Marc was crashing on my sofa one night and was playing it. I hadn’t played recorder seriously for years. I would occasionally stumble through a Handel or Telemann sonata; Marc picked it up, played a couple of tunes then rattled off a Vivaldi concerto, following it up with some Parker and Coltrane. It definitely found a better home!
