Hello! I'm currently working on my new album TILT, inspired by the seasons. Releasing a song on social media every month for 12 months, I am now in the final month of March. With each composition I've made a little film using footage taken during that month. Once the collection is complete I plan to release the full album via my bandcamp page and on a select few other sites. You can watch all the films on the TiLT page of this website or go to my YOUTUBE page and view them, and other films there.

To keep up with TiLT and all my other shenanigans then best to subscribe below to receive all my news and gigs etc.

After a tremendous run of the Cromer Pier Christmas Show where I danced, sung and violined in stunning outfits with a beautiful cast on stage and amazing crew backstage, I hurtled into 2025. I allowed myself a breath to consider 2024. Not one for looking back but I'm glad I did as 2024 was such an incredible year for me. Please check out my blog post all about 2024.

Below is a little compilation film of my bits in the Christmas show.

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! THANKYOU HUGS & KISSES!

Movement 11. February.
‘APRICITY’
The warmth of the sun in winter.

I love snowdrops. They’re like little dreams of spring bubbling up from the earth as the land sleeps in preparation for the big explosion that simultaneously feels like one gust of wind away and yet a hundred years away as we are teased with late winter sunshine followed by cold hard days.

I would have liked to have spent longer on this film but my editing app was messing me around and what with February and its shortness I ran out of time as per usual! 😑.
I’m getting so close now. Just one more month to go! I’ve managed to stick to the plan, one movement and accompanying little film every month.

TiLT is a song cycle inspired by the seasons. I composed the 4 main songs, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter over a 12 month period, writing each song during it’s respective season. At the same time I collected field recordings which I used to create the interconnecting electoacoustic compositions. I am releasing a song every month starting in April 2024.

Back last autumn I was involved in the most beautiful, life affirming and joyous event called Dance Into The Fall in Norwich run by Total Ensemble and involving lots of community dance groups including @glasshousedance There’s a link to a lovely film in my stories.
Or find it on my YT page @bertiebow and in the playlist ‘THIS IS ME’

10th Movement of TiLT

“Perihelion”
January

As the celebrations of the end of the calendar year subside we slide into the coldest and longest month. Although technically we have passed the longest night, January always feels dark. A time for rest and contemplation, what came before and what is ahead. The earth is sleeping deeply and dreaming of new life.

Perihelion- Greek, peri (around) and helios (sun)
The point where Earth is closest to the sun during its orbit. In 2025 it was on 3rd January when Earth was 91,405,992 miles from the sun.

My new album 'Violin Song' a mix of classical, pop covers and original compositions is now availble to buy in CD format only via my shop (bandcamp) or direct from me if you're local. I will have them availble to buy at gigs and when I'm busking.

Poppyland Songs book and CD is available to buy from Jarrolds in Cromer or from my shop (bandcamp). An updated version with extra songs, more photos and history behind the project. There is a CD album included and there will also be a download code in each copy so you can also download the album digitally plus the digital version has some bonus songs on it too which I couldn't fit on the CD!

After a couple of months away from my beloved Bowjangles whilst I did the Christmas show we roared into the new year with a sell out rural tour followed by a return to cruising with Seabourne. We have lots of plans up our sleeves. Dracula In Space is back in the theatres in May and our new compilation show Classically Untamed - 17 years of mayhem is also going to be making more appearances over the year.

All dates and info on Bowjangles website- www.bowjangles.org.
