In a cosy arts centre in rural France recently;a friend of mine came of age. The song I've attached is the magic moment captured on tape...well chip.
Nymphet handles the difficult melody almost with disdain as she floats over the very live backing of raggle taggle gypsies thrown together for the evening by her father and producer Graham Roberts.
Graham's credentials go back more that 30 years from comedy cult band Brownsville Banned to chart topping records in the European market with his partner in crime Ailsa ,who also happens to be his wife and mother to Nymphet. Hmm I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
But this isn't a Britney Spears arrangement in any way. It is a meeting of generations. young learning from old, old learning from the young. The meeting of enthusiasm and experience..
The evening I am told by Graham was chaotic to say the least. Not only was he having to play on half the songs due to lack of rehearsal time , but also running a remote recording and videoing of the occasion for a future promotional video for this newly found talent.
Recorded completely live you can feel Nymphet feeling the lyric and transposing it into a voice that raises the hairs on your neck. I look forward to the studio version and hopefully,album.
Please give it a listen and comment I would like to know if it's just me, lol.
Love and peace
