Laura Cannell performs from her new solo release, BOW & CREAK, inspired by Longplayer.
For September’s Long Afternoon, the Longplayer Trust is delighted to welcome internationally acclaimed musician Laura Cannell to the Lighthouse.
"I was inspired by the landscape of the Longplayer score, its beautiful, never ending image of circles and shapes, combined with the waterscape and surroundings of the lighthouse of where is is housed; it was too hard to resist interpreting it into my own musical language.”
