The Choral
Hey Bill, wondering if you have had the chance to see the film “The Choral”? Setting is Yorkshire , 1913, and the residents creating choral music in the face of impending war. At theatres now.

Hey folks,
Not sure if it's OK to post this here (but I'm sure the admins will soon pull it if it's not).
I have reluctantly listed on ebay my edition of Bill's self-published autobiography:
Painted From Memory (Sketches for an Autobiography)
Volume One: Evocation of a Radiant Childhood (Autumn Ink Incorporated, 2010)
It's an increasingly hard to find book, so grab it while you can.

This is just beautiful! I wasn't at the Nelsonica or Clothworkers' Hall gigs from which these performances are taken, but that doesn't matter. Lovely sound, and cheekily edited so the audience only turns up at the very end of the album. Find some time to be swept along in this music and let it carry you along!
Thanks, Bill, for allowing this material out to be heard.

A pillbox crisp
Offer, offer, it was not an unreasonable offer
A pillbox crisp, that French git
The spikes he left in the bathroom
And I never heard from him again

I am taking a shot at assembling a play list. This was all inspired by a BN Potential Covers thread.
Here is a teaser.
I hope that this mix works for folks. I struggled with selecting tunes that would represent this important chapter of Bill’s career. I swapped out Bridge Across The Void for Blue Sparks Flying.
Give this mix a listen to. Or put together your own.
I tried to paste together all the album covers and dug up Nelsonica 01 from the archives. There is the background story and photos on this website. You might actually see yourself in the crowd!
I used material from all the Nelsonica CD’s and kept the playlist to the 80-minute CD-R length.
Since this was meant as a tribute and is to be complementary to things Bill has released previously, I did not reuse any of the tunes put onto the Dreamer’s Companion series. Those may be Best of Volume 1, as it was curated by Bill or his Team.
I hope that there is a Nelsonica 2026 as the artwork below illustrates.
I quite agree, it's a stunning album and a credit to all the musicians who bring the music alive. I was at the Nelsonica 2012 performance and the music takes me back to watching the band, with a glass in hand.
A real pleasure to listen to again.
