Last week was a good one for us
Monday: we met our environmental charity partners World Land Trust at their offices in Halesworth in Suffolk. It was a marvellous meeting – since we first created our partnership agreement with them for the Ecuador project two and a half years ago things have really moved on. World Land Trust are very excited about the project - dare I say it, even surprised by where we are already! Helpfully they are putting the feelers out for Latin American singer-songwriters too. There’s more to tell, some exciting possibilities…
Tuesday: Brazilian singer Cibelle recorded an acoustic take of her song Instante de Dois (from her latest album The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves) - the 9th recording for Tropical Forest Project: Ecuador. Despite feeling ill on the day she managed to pull off a recording that our producer Peter and I love: very beautiful, gentle and mysterious, like a mist passing between trees in a cloudforest, and with a hint of the Sixties about it. And as always with Peter’s recordings, she sounds like she’s in the room with us.
Friday: Devon Sproule (who recorded her song Plea for a Good Night’s Rest for us) emailed me to confirm she’s appearing on Later with Jools Holland at the end of February!
Onwards and upwards…
