Clare singing

• Here is a rough playlist. I don’t have any decent recordings because I am a rank amateur! So the quality is patchy to say the least.
• The songs on the playlist are:
  • Molly the Bandit - written by me, accompanied on the hoof (they’d never even seen the music before) by a fantastic band called Geriatric Jazz.
  • Summertime - @AllyFogg (my husband) on guitar, recorded on a phone in our garden.
  • That ole Devil Called Love (Billie Holiday / Alison Moyet) - me on piano, recorded on phone.
  • Fever (a la Peggy Lee (ish)) - Ally on guitar + we made our own backing track, using very basic technology. We decided the genre was “techno blues”.
  • Summertime again - this time not soloing, just singing with a gospel choir. Recorded in a church, on phone, but lovely natural reverb from the building.
  • How I Got Over (Mahalia Jackson / Aretha Franklin) - backed by gospel choir. Recorded in church. No mic, so my voice is a bit strained in the second half when the backing singers pick up.
  • Mamma Mia (Abba) - Ally on guitar. An experimental slow version. Trying to pull each other back from the beat, which means we struggled to sync up. Recorded on phone.
  • For You (Eric Bibb) - Ally on guitar. Recorded at our wedding (so you get to see my amazing wedding dress - this is the only one with actual video footage). I was kind of distracted with, you know, getting married… so I don’t think I did a brilliant job, but the context makes it moving.

Doll on a music box

What do you see You people gazing at me You see a doll on a music box That’s wound by a key How can you tell I’m under a spell I’m waiting for love’s first kiss You cannot see How much I long to be free Turning around on this music box That’s wound by a key Yearning Yearning While I’m turning around and around
