Backstage at the Union Chapel

This photo is from last night. Gina supported Devendra Banhart at the Union Chapel in London, and a choir of friends and associates sang on two of her songs, Live Forever and Keep to the Left.

I did the vocal arrangements, and after one rehearsal at Third Man in the basement (due to touring and other time restraints), we donned our black garb and joined her on stage.

Thank you choir for making those arrangements sound so good! Thanks also to Gina for inviting me to do it. It's a very different kettle of fish to the job of arranging backing vocals for recordings, which I do for myself, Gina, Robert and various other people.

This is a rushed posting; I'm up early for work but might write more in due course.
