George Boomsma
The Promise of Spring
(Self-Released)
★★★★

THIS album from North Yorkshire musician George Boomsma consists of eight original songs and is a moving reflection of grief for the loss of a family member.

Accompanied by a full band, Boomsma’s voice and acoustic guitar playing takes us on a roller-coaster of emotional reflection, starting with Fallen which introduces us to the feeling of loss, followed by the title track and Lily of the Nile which deal with the realisation that grief will take time to heal.
