Captioning the post, he said: “I’m really happy to tell you that my album ‘Song’ is now out.
“Music is always something I turn to when words aren’t enough, and I have loved putting together this collection of songs that mean so much to me.
“Many of these pieces have been carefully re-imagined for cello, some will be familiar and perhaps some will be new discoveries for you.
