So it has been a few months since I have updated the site with what I have been up too. This is a good sign.. it means I have been busy!
LIBELLUS was released on 1st June through GENEPOOL/UNIVERSAL MUSIC and celebrated on 3rd June at Cafe De Paris. Where I organised a festival of colourful and beautiful decadence and mayhem. With incredible performances from Empress Stah, Leo & Yam, Fran Landesman, Son Ver, Gwendolin Lamour, mischief from Bearded Kitten and Hunga Munga, and brilliant tunes from Trol 23 and Colin Greenwood from My Window Faces South.
We previewed a version of the BLACK SEAGULL video we had shot in wales. Which is now finished. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen.
In July I entered the Anthony Gormley 4th Plinth Project. I suffer from Vertigo so for me this was a very challenging a nerve wracking experience. Vertigo combined with rain and high winds…but I am glad I did it. Even though it was somewhat chaotic with an amp that was doing its best not to work!!
FOOTAGE OF TALLULAH ON THE PLINTH
July and August became months of muddy feet and dancing at all the festivals we played at. My favourite was PORT ELLIOT. I also met the very wonderful David Carter, who runs a beautiful night called 40 winks in East London. Where dressed in your pyjamas you are read to and lulled by songs and fine wines… great gig to play!! Next one for me is 7th October.
Two tracks from LIBELLUS have been remixed. Time Fades by MOJO FILTER which is being released with a remix of JEFFERSON AIROPLANES WHITE RABBIT. LOST IN THE MORNING has been remixed by GRIZLA and will be released digitally towards the end of september… details to follow..
My other important news is I have started writing for my next album.. Getting Libellus together and released took up so much time and energy that there has not been much time for writing but now that she is on her way, I have time again and songs are running out onto the paper..
We drove through the night to get there…… a wee village in north wales.. slept but a few hours and then up for the first of our 14 hour days. Theo Shaw who was the cameraman on my EPK put together a crew from all round the world to shoot a video for Black Seagull including Steve Teers (Diva Pix) and Cristian Castelnuovo two of the most incredible cameramen and stills photographers. Theo also managed to get hold of two amazing cameras that have only been available for filming for the last 2 months ….. ooooohhhhhhh
For the narrator we climbed barefoot down sheer faces, I sung in the base of waterfalls, in trees, gullies and run through the early morning light. Chin Yere made me the most incredible dress out of white bin bags..
For the second character, the sprite, clothes were changed and more weird and wonderful make up was painted on by Chin. This top was from The House Of Blue Eyes. For this wee nymph we drove up hill and dale to a new forest high on the hills at the magic hour. We shot this section on super 8 as i scampered up trees and danced with the little mirrors that spun off the shards on my top.
The last character, The Black Seagull herself was shot in the scariest of places, as the evening light began to fade away and we were left with the smoke from the embers and the pools of light that gathered at the base of the tall bare trees. I spun and ducked in the darkness. In one of the locations in the background sat three child size newly dug graves….. very very eerie.
We are editing the video now and you will be able to see the finished piece exclusively on the 3rd June at… yup you guess it Cafe De Paris at The Festival Of Libellus..
Tickets are fast running out so if you have yet to purchase yours….. follow this link…. time is running out.

Next one is on 3rd November followed by 10th and 17th.. and with each show comes another character.

We have just got back from Berlin, where we were playing with a really old friend of mine and his band www.myspace.com/myriadcreatures
What an amazing city…. I completely fell in love with it and am looking forward to our next mission out there. There is this sense of possibility and creativity there which is incredible and a feeling that time is not been ripped from you. We are now planning our next trip and possible writing batch….
Before all that happens however… there are somethings up ahead. The big one being the Album release…
