Four years ago, @Alissonbecker lost his father. He pens this letter to his family — at home and at @LFC.

I hope to meet my father again one day. Until that day, I know one thing for sure: I never, ever walk alone.

London! Looking forward to playing @SalonMusicN6, 15/4 with @danisicari. Alongside stripped-back duo takes on new songs from our forthcoming record with The Easy Rollers, expect standards (Gershwin, Kern/Hammerstein, Rodgers/Hart, +), and an aria or two!

Our BBC Music Magazine album review is out! 'Suave, expressive guitar accompaniment' - thank you @MusicMagazine 🙏 cc @delphianrecords
Cheers @MusicMagazine for the lovely review of the @AKeeganMusic x @delphianrecords album in the October print issue! “LBD navigates aleatoric-sounding vocal lines with pinpoint accuracy… a hypnotic voice… in all a quirky, highly personal and thought-provoking project.”

Prom ahoy! Excited to play with the amazing @Paraorchestra tonight for @bbcproms at @BristolBeacon: live on @BBCRadio3, 6pm. @OVibrans new work brilliantly interweaves Mozart's 40th (played from memory), choreographed alongside a terrific team of dancers:
