The expanded, reshuffled group return after a five-year hiatus.
This is the simplest of concept albums. Living & Alive is about really living – something that’s easy to say but not always so easy to do. ‘There is no such thing as an ordinary moment,’ sings Amy Birks on Snowflakes, which exudes a high wattage of positive energy. She’s the only performer left from Beatrix Players’ previous album and is the focal point of an eight-piece ensemble, which includes John Hackett on flute and backing vocals, and Jane Fenton on cello.
