Fantastic news

In response, Keith Johnson of KMJ Recordings added: "It's fantastic news. There's perhaps nothing quite like recording 'The Floral Dance' with Brighouse, and to be able to work regularly with such fine musicians and conductors is a privilege, and we're looking forward to some exciting sessions in the future."
