Broadjam Artist: Laurence Watkins
Song: Laurence’s Lullabye
Reviewer: James Neilson Graham
Positive Comments: Concept is wry and unusual: ‘If no one will write a song for me, I’ll write it myself!’ Personal and idiosyncratic lyrics, bravely eschewing rhymes. Made me smile. Unusual musical form passacaglia) and instrumentation (arco ‘cello on bass) – echoes of 17th century? It all adds up to a pleasing and individual song. Reminds me a bit of Duncan Abbott . . .
Constructive Comments: Recording seems a bit uneven – in the middle of the song the voice is hard to distinguish.
