Just a little something to make you smile from the fairies and me...This is a song I wrote about the fairies calling us to the woods at night to join in their fairy circle dance - inspired by my favourite Shakespeare play A Midsummer Night's Dream we recorded the song in my garage in 2003 with Billy Olster from the Canadian band Frozen Ghost doing all the amazing guitar and musical arrangement.  

That is me singing lead and daughter Emily was only 8 singing those sweet fairy vocal backups.

 We later used the song for the ballroom scene in a Pantomine version of Cinderella and have included a short clip with the link.

To hear the full version click on the bottom link and it will automatically play for you on the website for The Backyard Drama Club.

 Enjoy! ...Oh yes and the fairies have a message - they want to remind us to dance in the moonlight more often!!!

'Chain of Daisies'

"Come weave a chain of daisies love,

We sat under the blue moon,

In the night garden.

A breeze as soft as the lake water

Stroked us like silk,

Soft as the wings of a fairy,

Sweet as the breath of an angel,

And the moonlight washed away our sorrows,

Chased away our fears,

Bathed away the pain of the past,

Whilst we talked of many things...
