Fire and Light - 2008 Cat.
no. FS006 "This CD has made one of my dreams come true! When I was a little girl I used to daydream about recording an orchestra on my own albums... I spent hours lying on the floor in my parent's lounge listening to many different recordings of my favourite orchestras and musicians. My head would be filled with wonderful melodies and musical images. It fills me with delight that with this album I have fulfilled a childhood dream by recording with the City of Prague Philharmonic. Also the fact that this CD has a great kiwi band on it combined with a top international orchestra is very exciting; it is a dynamic fusion of sounds and talents. I have had a wonderful time writing these new compositions, I feel they are a mix of all the kinds of music I love. The tunes have stories to tell and I have had a lot of fun using my imagination to create the orchestral parts to fit the musical images I have in my mind. I really hope that you enjoy this CD and get as much pleasure from listening to it as we have had creating it." Click here to view a short video about the making of the album. |

"This, my third CD, was recorded at the start of 2006. I have travelled so much over the last three years and after living in London for most of the last two years I have composed a CD of musical memories from New Zealand and many other parts of the world. I love New Zealand and having lived there for most of my life I have many musical and life experiences to draw from when I am writing my music. I have also spent some time in Ireland where I formed a huge love of Celtic and Folk music.
I love many things about London and have been so lucky to have a wonderful home and friends there. I have written a lot of these tunes in London, (some of them sitting on my front doorstep in South West London!) I have also added a few of my latest favourites; Bolero, Cinema Paradiso and Hava Nagila."

"This, my second CD, was recorded in 2003 after backpacking around parts of Europe and Ireland. I describe a lot of this album as 'World Music'. There are again gypsy and jazz influences which can be heard throughout these original compositions. For those of you who are gypsy music lovers, I hope you enjoy my arrangement of Brahms' 'Hungarian Dance no. 5'."
Note we have re-released the CD with two new exclusive live performances....

"This first CD was recorded in 2002. At that time I was listening to a lot of spanish, gypsy and tango music which definitely influenced the choice of pieces on the CD. It also features my very first composition; 'On a Branch'."
