Inspired by Sting's favourite season the album takes traditional music from the British Isles as its starting point and evolves into a compelling and personal journing with music spanning over five centuries (including two of Sting's own songs).

An evocative collections of lullabies, carols and songs, Sting's album celebrates the many facets of winter - before the snows melt and the cycle of the seasons begins once more.
