In a recent gig at Space 109 Catherine revisited another old song of ours. Written about a decade ago

A lovely attentive audience |
'You' was written originally as one of a
number of songs for a musical we were
working on (but never quite finished)
and has a lovely old fashioned Irving
Berlin-esque feel.

Everyone tucking into the delicious food at Space 109 |
And no offense to the kiddie-us,
but I think we've come a long
way since 'Jimmy'. Bless.
It was also wonderful to perform at the York Hospice the other week. The lovely folk there were most happy to see us and seemed to have a fun afternoon listening to our music whilst having their nails done. Nice.
As usual we did a fairly varied set for them - some classical, latin, jazz; but it was a joy to include a piano piece written by Albert Watson, our very own great grandfather.
We never got to meet Albert, but his skills are legendary in our family. The tune, which obviously was written many a year ago has a beautifully melodic sound reminiscent of a more romantic era and the mature audience at the hospice absolutely loved it.
We shall endeavour to continue the family tradition.
Despite my nostalgic mood, I am looking forward too. I love the journey we have made and I am also excited about all the tunes we are yet to write x
