What a treat it was to present my show live from Celtic Connections in front of a phenomenal audience. A wee bit nerve wracking doing the behind-the-scenes bits of my job in front of hundreds of people but everyone was really understanding, and the guests were generous with their time and talent. ๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

We did it. We launched our album last night and it was MAGICAL. Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen, getting to perform for hundreds of people and show them what we've worked so hard on was such an incredible and intense experience. This project has made me fall back in love with poetry.
It's all starting to feel real now, we're launching our album next Wednesday, at one of Scotland's finest festivals, Celtic Connections.
