A song from Charley resident, Sarah Poole, composed and performed during Lockdown.

my latest song to celebrate some of the lock down measures being lifted, it's called "Butterfly" I recorded remotely with a flute player, his brother gave it a full studio production- an unexpected bonus, so some good things are coming out of doing things differently at least.
