January 13, 2010
What a wonderful start to 2010! My new single “Not Like Loving You” hit the BBC Radio 2 charts at the highest rotation level possible – right up there with Alicia Keys and Robbie Williams. Meanwhile back in New York, I shot a music video with director Ryan Stober for “Not Like Loving You,” which I will post online in the next week.
And I finally got to see the documentary by Susan Cohn Rockefeller focusing on my tour playing for the troops in Iraq. “Striking A Chord” is about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and how music (and specifically live music) helps the troops ease back into a sense of normalcy. Susan is making her final edits to the film this month, and will release it to the film festivals in the spring.
I’ve come back to snowy London now, and am gearing up for a busy few weeks of touring and radio promotion. Today I head to Cardiff to play on BBC Wales. On Friday I’ll be in Glasgow, Scotland with my band for the winter music festival Celtic Connections. I’m back in London this weekend to record the pilot for Terry Wogan’s new live radio show on BBC Radio 2.
Next Tuesday my band and I play a show in London at the Luminaire in Kilburn. I found a great opening band, Adrian Roye & the Exiles, who will start at 8 pm. I’ll hit the stage at 9. On Thursday of next week we’ll be on the road to Newbury.
Hope you all are following your dreams, recession be damned. And remember those snow boots….
Love,
Nell
