End in wisdom. Yup, that’ll do. Here’s a delightful morsel which I trust will bring a smile to your lips: ‘Hymn to the Comb-Over‘ by Wesley McNair’. Doesn’t the very title brighten your day?

“A new and compelling voice, at once both disciplined and passionate, both serious and moving.”
— RV Bailey

“… Astonishing precision and accuracy… rhythmically and sonically superb.”
—Martyn Crucefix
