Number 5 in our popular series of ‘bird themed’ music compilations will be available as a download on Friday (23rd). The guest selector this time is Caught by the River reader Ally Payne and once again it’s a killer.

Ally brought herself to our attention last year by telling us about the walk she had made following the narrative of Bob Stanley’s piece on the River Lea from our ‘Words on Water’ book. We were impressed. Check out her blog, the very brilliant Dusty 7s. For me, it’s got the finest taste in music on the web.

And let’s not forget that once again the sleeve comes sporting a specially comissionned Matt Sewell watercolour. This time it’s a wren.

The link will be on the newsletter that goes out on Friday, If you’re not signed up as a member you’d best correct that by putting your e mail address in the box above.
