Carole Nelson Trio. New Album Project Oct 2019
This year I was fortunate enough to receive and Irish Arts Council bursary for composition. So for the last few months I've been composing for a new trio album called Arboreal. We've just finished a couple of days in the studio and I'm absolutely delighted with the results. I hope to have everything ready by early 2020.
