Friday concert: Horses Brawl, Mumford Theatre, ARU

"Part Early -- part folk -- part trained precision -- part wild abandon" claims their web site, and ... yeah. Horses Brawl are Laura Cannell (recorders [occasionally two at once], fiddle and crumhorn, though we didn't see the latter) and Adrian Lever (guitar, occasionally Prepared). ( review )

2009/07: Every Day is Mother's Day -- Hilary Mantel

Every Day is Mother's Day -- Hilary Mantel

"I hardly like to explore my own mind," she said softly. "I think I imagine things. I hope I imagine them. There are connections I make between events in my life, between people, and I hope they're not real connections. I tell myself it would be too much coincidence. But coincidence is what holds our lives together." (p. 75)
