Tim Whitehead spent more than a year on a Leverhulme Scholarship studying JMW Turner. We previewed the resulting gig in detail last October – HERE .

Part of that gig at Tate Britain (with Liam Noble, Pat Bettison and Milo Fell) was recorded. There were further sessions this July, and this CD is the result.
