Gracie Fields
Just heard the producer has got the money in to do the orchestral sessions for the film. Of course they now want the music recorded tomorrow but it takes time to book studios, a symphony orchestra etc etc. We’ll do our very best. We’ve got Alfie Boe in the studio on Thursday to see whether the big wigs prefer his vocal to Julian’s.
James and I also clean forgot about the track we did on the new Gracie Field’s album with Jane Horrocks. Apparently it entered the album charts at 31 a couple of weeks ago which ain’t a bad result. We didn’t get any points on the record so sales make little difference to us but it’s still nice if it does reasonably well. It was a strange day though:
Jane brought her own vocal coach who just kept telling her to sing it ‘like Judy’ and we were asked by her manager to lay on lunch so I spent a fortune at the local deli rather than Tesco’s (which she might have taken the wrong way as she does their adverts). When lunchtime came though, she had brought her own flask of soup which she had while we ate all the fancy stuff. It takes a mind of steel to resist a good pork pie so I was most impressed.

wow ..what a nice result for “Gracie”…how many pairs of hands do you have!
good luck with the film music…..as you say, anyone who can not nibble a porky pie when offered is very strong willed…same applies to a jar of Branstons!

Thought you may be interested to take a peep at my website (www.ourgracie.com) dedicated to Gracie Fields. It has numerous photos of Gracie and all sorts of memorabilia from her theatre days.
Best wishes,
