To celebrate over 1000,000 streams on Spotify of my compilation album, "Musical Adventures in Time Travel", here is of a live performance of track 12, "Nero's Lyre", filmed in one of my favourite ancient woodland glades.
Featuring my evocations of the music of ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Israel, ancient Egypt, Greece & Rome, here is the link to the album on Spotify:

As well as Spotify, the album is vailable from all the other usual digital music platforms, including Amazon, Apple Music & iTunes.
CD quality audio & a PDF booklet of the detailed album notes is also available for every of my albums purchased on Bandcamp:

The piece is my imaginative evocation of the lament Nero was famously said to have sang accompanied by his lyre as he witnessed the Great Fire of Rome in 64 CE.
The lovely location is Lancaut Nature Reserve, in a secluded glade next to steep limestone cliffs, framing the River Wye - one of my favourite local spots to escape the mostly maddness of the rest of the modern world.
Lancaut was once a tiny village, long-abandoned during the Middle Ages, probably due to the plague - all that remains, is the ruins of a 12th century church, nestled in the remnants of the ancient wild wood bordering the banks of the Wye & surrounding sheer limestone cliffs - today I discovered it makes a spendid outdoor recording studio!
