"LIVE FROM THE LONDON STUDIOS"
This month, my song 'Emily' was featured on a tv show called 'Live from the London Studios'. Which was filmed on the 14th August at 'TLS' Studios, London. It was pretty amazing! The set was gorgeous, and everyone was great... As soon as I have the finished result I will post some clippets on here for you all to admire! All the other acts were great! I'd like to just list the names of the others; (the) Requiems, ADORA (feat. Will Gracie + Belle), The Last Party, The Wirez, and Andrew Jarmin! Check them all out, there was not a bad act on there! I'd also love to thank, Chris Yates (the producer of the show) for doing such a great job...and everyone else involved!
