The Living Tree

Some of you may have seen Dame Shirley Bassey singing her new single 'The Living Tree' on Edna Everage's programme tonight.

This song was written by two female British song-writers/musicians, Nikki Lambourn and Catherine 'The Been' Feeney, who are in a band called Never The Bride. I was fortunate enough to have been present at a gig they played on my 50th birthday (and even still have a promotional thong they threw into the crowd in my underwear drawer - still unworn, though, I have to admit *lol*). Nikki's voice has to be heard to be believed - and the rest of the band aren't half band either!

Dame Shirley's single is being released next Monday, 23rd April (and there's a great story behind how she got to hear it in the first place). If you'd like to view the official video it's at:

YouTube - Shirley Bassey - THE LIVING TREE - Official Video=

I also highly recommend taking a look at Never the Bride's original version at:

YouTube - Never The Bride - The Living Tree

which I still think is the definitive version and just blows me away every time I see/hear it.

If anyone's interested I have the links to the downloads/pre-order websites.

Let's hear it for British music and British-born talent :cool:
