To celebrate the Vernal Equinox (which coincides with the one year anniversary of both Georgia Ruth’s third album, Mai, and a year of living in lockdown), Bubblewrap and Georgia are releasing a very special out-take from the album’s recording session. Recorded in Aberystwyth’s Joseph Parry Hall in April 2019, this previously unheard track; Spring, is a completely live performance between Georgia, Angharad Davies (violin) and Ailsa Mair Hughes (cello).

Having forgotten about the song, Georgia revisited it recently and was struck by how prescient the lyrics seemed in light of the pandemic. One of the first songs written for the album, she has enjoyed rediscovering it.

“The need for lightness, movement, and hope (brought about by the turn of the season) feels even more pressing now,” she said. “There’s a rawness in the recording, and when we listened back, both Iwan Morgan and I were transported back to that beautiful room a couple of years ago, with its amazing natural reverb, the musicians, and the energy that went into the making of the album – things that all will always feel very special to me. Recorded in a different world, it felt so appropriate for this new one, somehow.”

Georgia Ruth - Spring

Roses is a bittersweet summer romance filled with breezy guitar, floaty strings and a gentle beat. I wrote Roses for the lovers everywhere, who will see hope in anything and are endlessly fantasising life. 
I love to add a little magic into my songs, through nature or innocence, and so Roses encapsulates what I'm about as an artist. 
Heartfelt, patient, hopeful tributes to the magic in the world that we don't always see.

Just a few weeks before Christmas, 2015, director, Kevin Allen popped into the studio to chat about his latest film - Under Milk Wood. In the show Kevin not only talked about this great movie but also some of his other works including Twin Town, Y Sirgus, Benidorm and intriguingly  plans for a sequel to Twin Town which he laughingly refers to as Twin Town 2 !!!

Run Away

These Days

I had a dream
We made it work
I ploughed the field
You grew the herb
All through the seasons
We worked

I knew the time
By the shadow fall
You felt at home
In the meadow sun
Two roaming spirits
As one
