This just in from Englishwoman NAOMI BEDFORD – Alasdair sang a duet of the song ‘The Death of Queen Jane’ (from the singing of Sheena Wellington) on her forthcoming album, produced by Gerry Diver in London, England:
“MY NEVER ENDING ALBUM HAS A RELEASE DATE….SORT OF …
I could have finished this album in 2 weeks, but due to money i have had no choice but to record for over a year….i have recorded about 3 quarters of the album but still have a way to go….ive been so lucky with the generosity of musicians who have helped me out and i dont know how to thank them all – but paying for studio is tough and ive contemplated prostitution to get me through! – only high class stuff mind you….if my mum is reading, that was a joke….but i think now that the album should be finished by christmas… and hopefully will be available soon after – i plan to play the album live too and do a wee tour of a few of our cities probably in march…..
The album is called ‘Tales from the Weeping Willow’…”
