Songbirds for a night, veteran studio singers Kay Garner and Sue Glover join Julie Gillingham and Imogen Miller Porter behind Billie Davis during Jet Harris and The Rapiers' Me and My Shadows date at the upcoming Somerton Arts Festival.
"Listen to Son of a Preacher Man—Kay was with Dusty Springfield for 15 years," says Billie D. "Listen to the doop-da-doop on Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side—that's Kay and Susie."
"Moonlight Shadow" is a latter day Shadows track that has been a favourite of mine. Taking a look a Youtube, I see Mike Oldfield has transformed it into a standout concert number -- majestic and highly visual with a sense of drama. Must say I think it would be a crowd stormer for the The Rapiers, Billie, The Songbirds plus Kay and Susie. Know "Moonlight Shadow" came out well after 1962 but so did "Breakthru" and that is a blast of an instrumental that is so Rapiers! Do dreams ever come true???
