Capri & Victoria - Unbeatable combination

A video with some of the clips and images from the holiday Victoria and I shared on Capri. We had a wonderful time, one which we shall never forget. The music is a clip of me singing 'Isle of Capri' followed by a variety of my own interpretations of the piece. I have always loved the song but have felt that it has been slightly misrepresented in most jocund recordings of it. This version is slightly rhapsodic, if a little melancholic!

The Melancholy Sailor - Music by Winston Chesterfield

This dark harpsichord number was written on a moonlit night. Honestly, it was.

Murder In The Palm House by Winston Chesterfield

Ridiculous title. However it, and the bizarre faux-vintage movie/novel image, can be explained. The thoughts rushing through my mind as I was writing/playing this were of murder, intrigue, dashing racing drivers, an alcoholic countess and a simplistic 1980s interpretation of 1930s costume. Appropriately, the electronic instrument I used (long favoured by Vangelis) sounds truly 1987. If one were to film an Eighties nostalgia piece, I suppose it would be suitable. I am pictured beneath a palm at the Palm House at Kew Gardens.
