Anne Brown and Heather Enid Wells
A collaboration between singer-songwriter Anne Brown, of the Netherlands, and myself, songwriter-bassist-guitarist Heather Enid Wells, from Norwich in England.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Anne and I have never met but when I heard her recordings on MySpace I so admired her singing, which is as good as anyone I've ever heard anywhere - including all the big names, that I wrote to her to say so. She kindly said how much she liked a song I'd written and it seemed a good idea for her to sing it. I sent recordings of my backing tracks to the Aqua8 Studios in Holland and Anne recorded her vocals over them, engineered by her brother Lennard. I'm knocked out with the result and hope SoundClick listeners will be too.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
