    Posted: 10 October 2007 at 12:14am

Well, I don't suppose it's a first but for me it is and I've had a whirlwind day being interviewed for BBCtv and radio (separately) and the Argus newspaper...about the song Babes in The Wood which is due to be launched sometime before Christmas as a charity raising CD and will be carried by Virgin and HMV.

I thought I would be quaking in my boots being interviewed by anyone but I was helped by the presence of the families of the two murdered girls who were very kind and welcoming to me -- they'd invited me to attend their annual vigil and couldn't have been sweeter to me...they knew in advance that  am a shy person who usually doesn't mix with crowds at all and certainly wouldn't want to be in the limelight.
 
I surprised myself being so calm but I guess I can thank the interviewers for putting me at ease.
 
Thank God it's over with though LOL
 
 
The radio interview was live and will be on the internet for one week with clip of the song apparently bbc radio south east
 
The tv interview will be on South Today tomorrow I believe although wasn't actually told when  bbc south today
 
The Argus will be carrying story and pics probably tomorrow and have uploaded about minute and half of track to their music site also I believe...
 
 
Didn't know if anyone would be interested but it's news :)

That's wonderful news Dawn.
 
Both of my daughter's live in Brighton and were 7 and 4 at the time of the Babes in the Wood case so you can imagine it was something that affected us as a family deeply. They both almost certainly read the Argus (one is now a marketing manager with Brighton Tourist Office) so I'll tell them to look out for you and the article.

THanks Graham and Essence...well, apparently, according to those who heard it, I sounded "posh" on radio....which I am not LOL...must be those elocution lessons *joke*
 
The pic in the Argus and the caption underneath makes me seem like one of the family, which I am not....no idea why that reporter asked for the CD and then didn't mention it in his report...cheap way to treat a struggling artist LOL
 
you see a thread here? I knew I should have remembered what Diana said on her way into the tunnel "never trust one of those press chaps"...ah well it was all good experience and apparently I am expected to repeat it in a month or two...sighhh

awwww thanks Mike....I am learning fast how the press operates though...the interview for tv was apparently (I didn't see the programme) reduced to a flash of the CD hahahahaha. I think I am in danger of becoming jaded already LOL
