It’s been exactly two weeks since our concert Musical Moments took place. I’m still reminiscing about that perfect evening and thinking ambitiously about the next one at the same time. Here’s the first official video release from our show. I particularly want to share this song first as it was composed by Lucy Simon, who was born in May 1940. She would have been 83 this month, but sadly she passed away in October last year. Performing this song beautifully is former West End Matilda, Imogen, with gorgeous accompaniment from the band.
