Dec 26 Bel Blue's Musical Homage To Dunraven Bay
Singer/Songwriter Bel Blue is a familiar presence on the live music scene counting The Riverfront sessions and Maindee Festival among her many appearances in recent years.
Bel recently released the stunning track Dunraven Bay via her Bandcamp webpage. The song which takes inspiration from the Vale of Glamorgan location was recorded recently at Shabbey Road studio's in Caerphilly and perfectly displays Bel's beautiful wistful vocals set against a lilting acoustic backdrop.
"Recording with multi-instrumentalist Al Steel was a joy." says Bel, "Given the time we had and my style of playing, we went for a live organic feel. Percussionist Andy Constable, added a clay bodied Tabla, that drives the song all the way though, with an undulating beat, like the ebb and flow of the sea."
"It was a heart-warming experience to record this song, with Andy and Al, and I'm looking forward to going back to do more. "
You can listen to Bel's recording of Dunraven Bay by visiting belblue.bandcamp.com. Although you can download Dunraven Bay for free, donations for the track are invited so that any profits made can be donated to a Mental Health Charity of Bel's choice.
