Brunette again
Hiding behind my hair
Eva Cassidy's recording of my song had just been released and I was as surprised to hear it as everyone else! I was getting noticed again after many years in the back waters and it felt uncomfortable to me.So I dyed my hair brown and tried to disappear.This is another picture taken by my daughter,Issy. I think it was 2005/6

Singing with John Themis
the goblins of Sherwood
John was signed to Nick Austin's Coda record label and brought out a lovely instrumental album of guitar music.I was invited to sing a couple of bars of vocals on it.I treated myself to a new outfit to do the photo shoot .I walked into a shop in New Bond Street and asked the assistant to help me choose something.The whole outfit was cream silk and cost £100 including the Missoni scarf round my waist.The shoes were snakeskin and cost £95.how about that for memory? John went on to become Boy George's musical director and producer.
