2019 has seen the release of the first solo album by Jo Ash, who lent her considerable keyboard skills to “Float Like a Butterfly” – “Constellations”, a delightful selection of 10 well-crafted songs, a strong vocal being accompanied by Jo’s unique piano style, some with the added dimension of haunting orchestration. An excellent album available via www.joashmusic.com. There there is Anna’s 4-track EP “Towards today” produced and musically assisted by another talented local artist, Dan Wilde. Anna has come up with some excellent material, delivered in the superb vocal style evident on the “Float” track “Fight brave and free”, Her title track is a particular standout and arguably Anna’s best song to date. This release is available from www.annahester.com.
