Brenda Wootton - List of tracks on Paris concert recordings

Brenda went to Paris to perform these concert dates with her guitarist- Chris Newman, plus saxophonist- Ray Roberts and Bass player- Dave Freeman, and the Camborne Town Band.

The Concert opens with the Camborne Band performing six tunes on their own, Brenda then joins them on stage and they continue with a further four songs to end the first half. The second half starts with 'My Land' backed by the three musicians, and they continue for twelve songs and are then joined by the Camborne Town Band for the rousing finale. Throughout the concert, speaking in French, Brenda tells Cornish stories and anecdotes to her audience.

THESE RECORDINGS ARE UNIQUE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY PLAYED OR PUBLISHED. They are a wonderful historic record of Brenda at her best and wowing a discerning sophisticated Parisienne audience, singing about Cornwall, its culture and history.

For this reason, we are considering digitally re-mastering tracks and possibly making them available as downloads either as individual tracks or even as a complete CD. This is costly and time consuming, so if you are genuinely interested, then please contact us here, we can then inform you of progress and developments.
