The Poor Clares of Arundel have made history as the highest charting singing nuns ever! After an appearance on ITV’s This Morning earlier this week, sales and streams for Light for the World increased 1,000% and the Sussex sisters leapt up the UK Official Albums Chart to No.5 today.
American violinist Hilary Hahn is this month’s Gramophone cover star. She spoke to Andrew Mellor about her year-long sabbatical and upcoming album release on Deutsche Grammophon.
Despite a howling gale and torrential rain, the Manx public showed their weather resilience and came down to Noa Bakehouse to support the Croo alternative indie market yesterday evening.
I was delighted to be approached by the organisers to book a pitch to sell my Manx By Nature Christmas cards and tote bags. It was a totally new experience for me, and it was lovely to meet the other creative merchants at the event. What began as a way of teaching myself how to use Procreate has become a viable small business, and the feedback has been so positive – the sales speak for themselves!
