“To think in the million years plus that humans have been evolving, in my lifetime, I might hear the last nightingale—that’s incomprehensible.” — Folk singer @samleesong
Watch “The Nightingale’s Song,“ by Adam Loften and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee. emergencemagazine.org/film/t…
ALT Scene from a film of a man with short curly hair in a sweater and jacket, looking outwards into the canopy of the forest and light coming faintly through the tops of trees.

A truly lovely endorsement from the brilliant @samleesong 💚 And with a really important message.
On climate & nature, the big parties are falling terrifyingly short of what is needed.
Green MPs will push the next Govt to think bigger, be better and act with the right urgency.

“It’s about people and folk making music together.”
Beautiful breakdown of Beyonce’s ‘Freedom’ on last week’s Add To Playlist episode.

Hurrah for this first bit of radio work I made 10 years ago now in honour of 100 years. To this very day. Well done @FloraCurzon @FrancescaT_B & Laurel Pardue for being part of this too.
Thanks @julian_may and @BBCRadio4 for making and repeating
100 years ago tonight the BBC broadcast the first of Beatrice Harrison’s cello and nightingale recitals. At 2.45pm @BBCRadio4 broadcasts Singing with the Nightgales, which @samleesong and I made, in which he sings songs about nightingales to and with them. 1/2

100 years ago to the night the BBC aired their first ever outside broadcast – a nightingale in duet with a cellist.

“The songs are Lee’s own, their singer cast as a shamanic figure wandering through landscapes hymned in folk song and poetry but now facing ecological collapse.” youtube.com/watch?v=1YD_nRnU… Read about @samleesong's album and watch the video for the opener. theguardian.com/music/2024/m…

Absolutely DEVASTATING @samleesong show @thetradesclub last night - his singing and arranging, always sumptuous, have attained new levels of eternal depth;
And the band, including restrained lava-flow and glacier-creep guitar from Bernard Butler, are *amazing*
GO AND SEE THEM!!

Album release day!
Utterly thrilled to offer to the world this collection of new works in dedication to the natural world. ‘songdreaming’ is the combined work of many brilliant souls who I want to pay testament to and give thanks for their creative contribution.
And so it goes. Another album enters the public domain.. good luck to you songdreaming

'Songdreaming' finds @samleesong in vehement form - there's a bulging, barely simmering, emotional struggle threatening to burst through the delicate folk structures 💚
