A Stitch In Time

Thanks to the Art Library for inviting us along to provide music at their unveiling party for the new tapestry created for the “Threads of Freedom” project. This was part of a broader national thing to celebrate the freedom we’ve enjoyed since the end of the Second World War: Our Freedom: Then & Now. Delia contributed significantly to the tapestry so it was only right that she got two goes at the appropriately Leeds and Yorkshire-heavy session! Here’s what we played:
