The best thing about being a musician is working with other musicians and like-minded people.
Here is a taster of some recent collaborations.
At the beginning of the year I had the fortune to meet an amazing guitarist and songwriter Gulliver Martin in a bar in Cheltenham, who at the time was looking for a female vocalist to sing his rock music www.myspace.com/freddiesmasterplan.
He is now my lead guitarist and we are co-writing together. Gulliver wrote this song and provided the chorus lyrics and I wrote the verses. It's a bitter-sweet story about a couple who kill their respective partners so they can be together!
My very talented award winning film-maker friend and bass player Dan Wilson gave my a simple keyboard track to write lyrics and a melody to.
A few months later we recorded this rough mix on his MAC which I think is rather pretty.
I have been wanting to write and record a vocal for a dance track for ages. I did a bit of this in my teenage years but never pursued it.
This vocal sample was produced by the very talented Paul Richards.
When I got booked to play at Winterwell I went on a mission to find a guitarist who would accompany me and who would really understand my music. I was lucky enough to find Ed Hanfrey. We recorded these tracks for rehearsal purposes and I quite liked their unpolished feel.
