NEW: the third solo album
Songs Of Our Years

Musicians: Gill Sandell, Ted Barnes, Anna Jenkins, Paul Jordanous, Jo Silverston, Ali Friend, Sebastian Hankins, Tom White, Jen Macro, Kristin McClement, Samantha Whates, Livingston Choir (Harriette Ashcroft, Toshi Kobayashi, Gill, Jen, Kristin, Samantha, Ted).
