I recorded a live acoustic concert in Goseck Castle a couple of weeks ago. Part I premières on Youtube this Friday 6^th November 8.15 pm UK time, 9.15pm in Europe, and it’s free. Part II follows the following week, same time Friday 13^th.

The venue is the remaining part of a vast abbey church at Schloss Goseck. Perched on top of a cliff above the Saal valley in Saxony, the original Slav fortress was built around the year 800. The monastery was built a couple of hundred years later and I have had the privilege of playing here for the last five years. I was standing on a floor almost a thousand years old and the acoustics are amazing, as you will hear, those monks knew a thing or two about sound. The place is lovingly curated by my friend Robert Weinkauf, himself a fine singer of medieval songs.

Big thanks to Michael Thurm from Evovi.de for the filming and excellent sound recording.

Part II will follow at the same time the following week.
