Here’s something I bet you never thought you’d see! Me dancing!!! A few weeks ago, I was asked to join in with a group of “extras” to dance on an escalator for a video of a song by 80s pop sensation Tanita Tikaram. The brilliant Tanita has evolved into a really superb singer-song writer, and her new album is wonderful. On the day of filming, she modestly, and shyly, came and introduced herself to every single person and is truly one of the loveliest people I have ever met.
The film was shot at Kings Place in London where, a few night’s later, Tanita performed an unforgettable concert. Her deep, warm, tender, vulnerable voice and her incredibly varied range of songs were a potent mix, and it was an emotional evening. She is a generous and intelligent performer, her band were great too. It was really good to be reminded that not all the music I love is in the “classical” world. She is a true star.
And now… here I am, dancing with Tanita!!!
