Blake perform “Jerusalem” at William Blake’s graveside

 

Up until today, this had been Blake's gravestone for he and his wife, as he had been buried in a paupers grave & the true location of his remains were unknown. Today, we and many other Blake appreciators will see the unveiling of his new grave stone, at the site of his final burial. We shall hear his words recited & we shall sing Jerusalem in his honour. Truly a historic day & one we are proud to be a part of. RIP William Blake, the fine man who gave us our name. BLAKE. #blake #williamblake #bunhillfields #gravestone #jerusalem

Singing Jerusalem at the graveside of William Blake – surrounded by hundreds of fellow appreciators of perhaps England's finest poet & painter combined. We felt genuinely overcome by emotion as we sang his words at this special occasion; finally a resting place deserving of such a magnificent man. #blake #jerusalem #grave #bunhillfields #wake #funeral #graveyard

Update from Blake

Our 2nd week in the charts & we're at No.2, & only 15 albums from another No.1! We're amazed that we're still up in the Top Ten, let alone nudging the top spot again! Let's see what happens in week 3 😉 Thank you everyone for continuing to spread the word about our brand new album, recorded with @royalairforcemusic & the @militarywiveschoir – it's been truly heart warming to have you all behind us. If you haven't got a copy of the CD yet, do find one, there are still some left on @amazonuk & also on @hmvinstagram too! #blake #newalbum #no2 @officialcharts #classical #charts #uk #official #chart #album #harmony
