Now The Timothy, Jeff Buckley, and Leonard Cohen connection
Timothy “Tim” Buckley, father of Jeff Buckley was a contemporary of Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen songbook admirer. Jeff Buckley famously covered Cohen’s Hallelujah at club Sin-e.

Sirocco: Ka Bohaleng | Abel Selaocoe with Manchester Collective & Chesaba
Genre-defying cellist Abel Selaocoe is joined by his band Chesaba and the Manchester Collective string players in this electrifying take on a traditional South African song. Its title, ‘Ka Bohaleng’ (On The Sharp Side) references a common saying that “a woman holds a knife on the sharp end”. The song is a dedication to all mothers, and the women who take care of us through times of hardship. Filmed as part of the Sirocco tour at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester in October 2019. Manchester Collective feat. Chesaba Cello – Abel Selaocoe Percussion – Sidiki Dembele Violin – Rakhi Singh Violin – Simmy Singh Viola – Ruth Gibson Electric Bass – Alan Keary
