BLUE ROSE CODE - ON TOUR
I write to you from the back of the tour bus. It’s a few days into my UK tour and we have already visited ‘Empire’ in Liverpool and ‘Band on the Wall’ in Manchester. Great fun gigging in the North of England as there’s such a rich culture of supporting live music and a real appreciation of new music. Before hitting the road, I had spend the last couple of weeks...

BLUE ROSE CODE
Glad tidings from Bethnal Green. My name is Ross and I’m a Folk musician from Edinburgh who plays under the sobriquet Blue Rose Code. I moved to ‘that London’ eight years ago for the anonymity and to get lost in the crowd. What I found instead kept me ramblin’ ‘round Redchurch Street and London Fields ever since.

Resurrection by Claire Trévien Thomas dragged her body up the cliff path. Her legs became encrusted with crushed baubles of heather. Garlands of sweat dried on her skin, the salt caught the light like fish scales. Later, he fed her soup. He called her the Christmas fairy as he picked snowflakes from her hair.
