Right then...I've begun the 3rd album (the follow-up to 'Speak For Yourself'). I'm going to write a more frequent blog as I did with the last one so you can keep an eye on me and make sure I'm not slacking! I wonder how it's gonna turn out? How exciting! You're very welcome to comment but please don't ask me questions on here or i'll never get any work done. You can email me with any questions you have and every month we'll pick 20 from the virtual 'hat' and post them. Send your questions to: [email protected]

Much much more to come! Love, fluv x i x Wheeeeee!!!

Hi y'all!

It's been a mad couple of days. Been on cloud 9! Still up there a bit. It feels a little like it was all a dream. Last night on stage was just one of the most amazing experiences for me...The musicians are brilliant...Jan Hammer, Michael and Mark Mondesir...and Jeff was as incredible as ever. I was floating on stage. No worries about monitors being the wrong balance coz I knew they'd have it perfect, a wireless mic so I could really leap about and The Royal Albert Hall! I walked on in pink stilettos a rather expensive beautiful black evening dress I bought for an Oscars party I never went to in the end, another skirt underneath beige and green, net and linen, strange contrast! A circular red feathery clasp thing on my head that kinda looked like a tiny 1920's ladies hat. one long armlegging with some pink and blue flowers attached to it with an elastic band (that nearly cut off my circulation!) and some bright pink net leggings peaking out from underneath it all. Hair really back combed to hell, bright blue and green eye makeup and big glossy lips! Somehow it all worked? To top it all off the crowd were fantastic!!!



I know both the songs so well I just relaxed and enjoyed it so much! I took off my heels after Blanket (which you can now buy on the itunes UK website!!) coz I felt like going a bit mental on "Rollin' and Tumblin'. Jeff and I were smiling from ear to ear! I wish you were all there to see it! (thankyou for all the complementary comments from you who were there!!)

The photos I've got here for you now are just a couple I took while the sound check was going on to give those of you who haven't been there an idea of this wondrous venue and the live one was taken by Richie on his phone. No-one in our gang had a digital camera so you'll have to wait a little while longer for those to be processed. Hope there's some good'ns. Mark (my manager) Took a couple at the after show with Jeff Beck, Ronnie wood and Jan hammer...also with the brothers and one of me holding the flowers Jeff gave me on stage (smelling and looking glorious and colourful in my Kitchen window) straight after the show on stage with the Royal Albert Hall behind me. If anyone reading this took some good photos of last night I'd love to see them! It was such a big night for me...



Oh my...I am sooooooooo dying to do some live shows of my own now!

There was a weee party after and the drinks were on Jeff...a few famous faces and some old pals I hadn't seen in a while. It was a good laugh. Hence the title...I rolled out of bed at 2pm!!! Spent the day cleaning my bicycle in the sunshine on my balcony, cooking some lovely nosh writing this and that's about all really! It's ok to be lazy once in a while...

Love to you all...back in the studio tomorrow for more musical goings on...

Hello again,

Really cool to hear you're doing some live stuff, a great shame I missed it (note to self: should get into RSS feed readers ...does anyone have any recommendations suitable for OS X?)

Have some links for you:
Blanket on the iTunes music store UK, Germany and France (not U.S. tho)
Frou Frou: Details on the iTunes music store UK (not U.S., Germany or France)
Frou Frou: Details on the iTunes music store Germany (not U.S., U.K. or France)

Plus Immi, I was browsing iMixes in iTunes today; did you do this one?:
...if so shameless self promotion - I gave it five stars tho ;)
Frou Frou (Electronic Pop Perfection!) iMix...and lastly, as you asked before, here's a re-post of that link:

Re: imix...actually I didn't do this imix...though it is a great plug! You can tell it wasn't either Guy or me becaue if there's one things that REALLY annoyes us it's the assumption that I am just the singer/ songwriter and Guy is just the producer. Guy writes the songs too I and I produced the album too...Guy gets rattled when people just say he's just a producer coz he's also a great songwriter!...I guess some people just find cliches easier and less hassle to deal with...mooo. good one though..imegaphone, imix, iblog, itunes....we were meant to be together!

HEY!
Just to say i was there at the royal albert hall - 4 seats away from the stage and it was amazing!
I'm a massive jeff beck fan, i saw him a couple of years back at the festival hall and when imogen came on stage and performed rollin and tumblin i was awe struck!
You have a amazing voice and stage presence,
So to get the oppotunity to watch/hear it all over again was fantastic.

I think its a crime your not rolling in wealth and world fame:)

All the best

I saw you at the 23rd of june and was really impressed by your singing...
If I were to translate a dutch expression (yes I flew over from Holland basicly just to see Jan Hammer perform) it would be as follow "You have one gold throat".

I am most definetly going to check out your albums.

I've also written a little review of the gig on http://www.jan-hammer.net

All te best Imogen and I am quite sure the Royal Albert Hall will be yours alone very soon.

Best regards,

Hi, immi, just a few lines from one of audience at RAH on 24.06.04.
I have been addicted to Jeff's music for almost 30 years and felt happy to be there on his 60th birthday.
You made me even happier when I heard you.
You looked great on stage, too. I knew your voice from Jeff's cd but had never seen you before. I am sure you will make it on your own at RAH soon. Hold on, immi.
