Vertumnus is Autumnal, Hibernal, Vernal & Estival. An epic orchestral-folk exploration of the season

Performing under his middle name, folk musician Bayden Hine creates stories that are at once intimate and as expansive as our place in the universe. Songs about our senses, our love, our world are awakened with sweeping orchestral and choral arrangements, cinematic and clear. Packwood’s work is a poetical exploration tha

Premiere: Singer Songwriter Gretta Ray Shares Stunning Debut EP

At just 17 years old, Gretta Ray's incredible songwriting belies her young age. As well as being a part of the choir that sung on my album recordings, she supported my Autumnal EP launch early last year and completely blew the socks off everybody.
