Hi there, I am
having a lot of fun rehearsing all month for the Diana memorial
concert which will take place on the 1st of July. I have been working
with some great musicians: Ian Thomas on drums, Trevor Barry on bass,
Pete Murray on keyboards, John Parricelli on guitar and Paul Wickens
("wix") is the musical director who also plays keyboards. He is most
known as Paul McCartney's keyboard player. These guys are the top
session players here in London. We have been working with the likes of
Take That, Natasha Bedingfield, Tom Jones, Will Young and more. I am
most impressed with Take That because the songs are great and the guys
are surprisingly easy to work with.
The day after the show I will be flying to LA to work with Alejandro
Lerner which I am really excited about. Hopefully we can come up with
another "Mi Fe". I was supposed to go to the Vatican after that to do
some intimate concerts with a "special audience". But I think this may
have been cancelled for reasons unknown to me. I am reckoning it may
have something to do with the volume of sins I have amassed in my
life. I was going to take them with me to see if I could have them
forgiven. I may have been practicing my Hail Mary's for nothing.
I will definitely be doing some shows in Italy with Sarah Jane Morris
later in July. The dates should be up on the site. She is a fantastic
artist and I am really pleased to be working with her.
I have done some more songs with my daughter Misty. Maybe I will put
one of them up on the site soon. What do you think? I have also been
writing more material for what looks like being another album. This
album feels different in that it is sort of coming together without
any real direction, unlike "Fourth Wall". It feels like it's kind of
merging into something. The more I work on it the clearer it's
becoming. We will see.
At the end of the month I will be going on holiday again to the south
of France. This is my favourite place to be. We are staying in the
Luberon region which is in Provence.
I will get back to you soon,
Love,
