I come from a musical family and have always been surrounded by music. I started singing in chapel where my mother played the piano. I think my love of harmony came from there. I used to practise singing along with the different parts every Sunday. That's where I learned the Welsh hymn "Calon Lan" (which is the last song on my album.) I wanted to record it as I used to sing it in chapel. I managed to coax my mother into the studio to play the piano and on the last chorus she even sings with me, along with my daughter. When I was 11 years old, my parents bought me a guitar and over the years we've had some very happy times together! I finished singing professionally when I was 21. A few years ago I decided to record some of my favourite songs, so I went back into the studio (which I had really missed) and recorded just 3 songs, then later on a few more, until eventually I had enough for an album, which was only intended for family and friends, but I've been persuaded to release it for anyone to buy. SONGS INCLUDE: 1. Turquoise-Donovan 2.Lisa Lan-Traditional (Welsh love song) 3.If you were a carpenter-Tim Hardin 4.I never dreamed you'd leave in summer-Stevie Wonder & Syreeta Wright 5.I live one day at a time- Willie Nelson 6.Old Welsh song-Henry Treece/Schickele 7.Fennario-traditional 8.Suo gan-traditional (Welsh lullaby) 9.Caravan-Mike Batt 10.The Rose-Amanda McBroom 11.How can I tell you-Cat Stevens 12.The flower that shattered the stone- Joe Henry/John Jarvis 13.Davey-John Denver 14.Calon Lan- John Hughes/Daniel James.(Welsh hymn) Thanks to the internet, I can share my music with others. One of my dreams is to sing the theme song to a film. So if anyone out there has any contacts please get in touch!! I hope you enjoy listening to my music as much as I enjoyed making it. Janet.
