UK's own, Peter Hepworth, more than qualifies as talented singer/songwriter with the tune, "Lady Jane."
Co-written by Hepworth and Si West (who also recorded and produced the song), Lady Jane, is about a character with an unbreakable love for life. You know the kind. Even in a world of negatives, there are those few people out there that simply think life is the greatest, love is the answer to everything, and we should enjoy every minute of life's up and down ride. That's who Lady Jane is, and Hepworth performs the story of his unexpected, uplifting journey with her well in this upbeat, folky ballad.
Hepworth's pleasant, identifiable vocals, with a subtle British accent, are delivered in a way that makes you feel as if he's sitting in front of you playing this song. His guitar picking is strong, and when the band and harmonies kick in, it adds an effective element to a song that could just as easily be performed by Hepworth himself and his guitar. When you can strip a song down to its core, and it still holds its own, you know you've got a well-written piece. That's what you get with Lady Jane.
Currently, it appears as if Hepworth is working on a new EP. Keep checking back with him, as he is a noteworthy talent worthy of your ears' busy schedule.
As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.
This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!
It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm
As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
Hi Peter! Just wanted to double check you got my last message... my inbox has been playing up recently and not letting me know when I have new messages! If you could just confirm the gig at HB on Fri that would be great! Ta! Suzie :)
Dropping by to wish you the best day ever and tomorrow do the same. If you have the means please give a couple of dollars to charity. Be it to fight Diabetes, Asthma, Cancer, Hunger, AIDS, or any other cause that touches your heart. I know of no better feeling than what you feel when you make another person’s day a little better.
