Yes, it was a joy to find this film whilst surfing t'net last night. I was previously unacquainted with Ms Sande, nor was I aware pf the full background of the musicians involved [including, to my shame, Simon Wallace]. Whilst straying off the subject of the amazing talent of Nina Simone, or indeed Emili Sande, I became even more aware of the talents of Simon, and his importance as an arranger and collaborator with Pete. If only I could have been able to entice not only Pete but Simon to the Eyemouth gig I organised what seems like an eternity ago... Still, a decent acoustic piano would not have been possible, and cost would probably been prohibitive. For those who were there and those who wern't, Eyemouth Hippodrome has ceased to exist as a music venue. Covid, lockdown and failing attendances... But the Pete Eyemouth gig remains a personal achievement, and thank you so much for the Midnight Voicers who helped to make it so.
