Tonight, Inside Out East Midlands is in Leicester. Coming up in the | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
next half-hour: At the end of their tether - how do you deal with noisy | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
neighbours? I just feel like crying. I don't want to be coming down | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
banging on doors and complaining, I just want some sleep! After Richard | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
III, what other hidden gems lie under our feet? This is just such a | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
wonderful opportunity to tell the story of Richard, but also to | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
relate that to the very long and rich history of our city. And the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
young singer from Derby who's making all the right noises in the | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :01:05. | ||
We've all heard about nosy neighbours, but what about the | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
noisy ones? And what can you do when the people next door are | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
making your life a misery? Derby has become the first place in the | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
East Midlands to run a night-time noisy neighbour response service. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
And since it started, the number of enforcement notices has gone up | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
dramatically. Sarah Sturdey has been investigating how to tackle | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:38. | ||
The noise... You can't switch off. It's 24/7. I feel like a broken | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
person. They say "love thy neighbour". But sometimes that's | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
hard. There is no escape. If anybody tells me "You can just move | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
:02:01. | :02:02. | ||
Is this one way to silence the racket? Sarah here, calling from | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
the response service at Derby City Council. A rapid response to catch | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
the culprits. There's no such thing as a quiet night for the noise | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
patrol. It's a Saturday evening and Sarah and Dan aren't just listening | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
to the complaint, they are hearing the evidence. What you're listening | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
to now, it is nothing, it gets louder and louder. Is it always | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
this sort of music, or does it vary? A lot of bad language. What | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
time does it usually go on till? have rung up at one in the morning | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
before. Because this is quite excessive, this would constitute a | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
statutory nuisance. So what we are going to do is serve a legal notice | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
on him. Since the late night service started, noise abatement | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
notices like this telling people to pipe down have gone up by almost | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
500 per cent. By being there as it happens, the officers can respond | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
quickly, right on the spot. music is up flipping loud, they | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
can't hear us. All right, Derby City Council. It's about your music. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
I need you to turn it down. If you continue to cause a nuisance, we | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
continue to monitor it and hear it and witness it, we can go to court | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
and get a warrant, come into your property and seize all your | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
equipment. You don't want that, do you? Not really. It's no empty | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
threat. The owners of this lot upset the neighbours once too often | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
and ignored the legal warning. It's been seized by the council and sold | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
at auction. People can get stressed and depressed if they feel they're | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
not in control of their own neighbourhoods and environment. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
This is a way of showing that if they complain about something, | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
action will be taken which will make a difference to them. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
response team doesn't always get there quick enough to hear the | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
noise. Without proof, it's hard to take action. I just feel like | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
crying. I don't want to be coming down, banging on doors and | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
complaining, I just want some sleep. Thank you very much, all right, | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
cheers. I'm going to be hard pushed to say "your dog is causing a | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
nuisance". If they say, "can you hear him?", I can't, actually. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
There are other options. Next stop, the home of Lesley Mannion, who | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
claims she has had years of sleepless nights from various | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
:04:49. | :04:49. | ||
tenants next door. Now at her wits' end, she is hoping noise recording | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
equipment can help her gather evidence. The television is right | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
in this corner. Just here. And they put it on full. My television in my | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
room is not as loud as their television. I got earplugs in on | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Christmas Eve, you can still hear it, how can you sleep through that? | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
You can't switch off. It's almost 24/7. Sometimes I just want to have | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
a tantrum and scream, "shut up, please, for God's sake!" It's made | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
me so ill. And it's down to the neighbours? It's down to the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
neighbours. Help from the authorities is too late for Dr | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Suzanne Dow. For more than a year she complained to her local council | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
and police about noise, abuse, drug taking and violence next door. The | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
council gave the tenants in Beeston near Nottingham a final warning or | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
face eviction. In a three-page letter, the lecturer told the | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
council it was affecting her mental and physical health. She had | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
reached her limits with the situation and the council. Two | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
weeks later, she killed herself. Broxtowe Borough Council says it | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
has reviewed its anti-social behaviour policy and introduced a | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
new complaint handling system to identify vulnerable people. So who | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
should you call? If it's more than loud noise, it could be a police | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
matter. In Sleaford in Lincolnshire, the council and police worked | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
together with residents in this close. At 17, Josh Sargeant won 1/2 | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
million pounds on a scratchcard jackpot, bought a four-bedroom | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
house and a hot tub. Then the trouble began. Revving engines, | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
loud parties, even street brawls. It was chaos in the close. At one | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
point more than 20 residents packed a front room to decide how to | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
tackle the constant disruption. When they finally had their day in | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
court, just three gave evidence. Now it's quiet, no one wants to | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
talk on camera. After all, they still have to live here. One couple | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
gave up trying to sell their home. They didn't want to involve the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
police. Another was prepared to tell the court their lives had been | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
made a misery. It was making people ill. Because you never knew when it | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
was going to stop, when it was going to start. It was really hard. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Really hard. Sargeant, now 19, received a two-year anti-social | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
behaviour order with a ban on loud music and large gatherings. He told | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
the court he had got rid of all the hangers-on. Tackling noisy | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
neighbours often needs joined-up thinking. In Sleaford, complaints | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
are dealt with in a new way. The council shares all the information | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
with Lincolnshire police. The idea is to spot repeat offenders and | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
those most vulnerable. What may upset one person won't bother | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
someone else. So we fully understand that people can be | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
scared, we understand it impacts on people not wanting to leave their | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
home, we understand it makes people feel very vulnerable and sensitive. | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
The Lincolnshire pilot was developed by Chief Inspector Mark | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
Housley. In the last few months, we've seen noise nuisance increase | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
by 33 per cent, that is a third. So it's a real issue, and we need to | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
work together as a partnership. trial is one of eight introduced | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
nationally after Fiona Pilkington killed herself and her disabled | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
daughter in Leicestershire. They had suffered years of neighbourhood | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
abuse. We cannot treat this issue lightly. We are aware the | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
escalation, and it can escalate to serious offences. If people are | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
frustrated that the public sector, the local services aren't | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
delivering for them, I understand that. We're trying to get better at | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
that. Back in Derby, in the early hours of Sunday morning, party | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
revellers upsetting the neighbours finally answer the door. We're from | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
Environmental Response Service, Derby City Council. We have had a | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
complaint regarding the noise you're making. You need to pipe | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
down because you're causing a nuisance to your neighbours. OK, no | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
:09:23. | :09:24. | ||
problem. You live in a residential area. Thanks for your time. There | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
are children trying to sleep. It is 20 past one in the morning. All | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
being well, the warning should work. All you need do is press that | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
little red button, write it down and give us a brief idea. Lesley is | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
hoping that with evidence, the Council act and her cries for help | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
will finally lead to some peace. There's no escape. And if anybody | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
tells me, "you can just move out", I'll scream. It's just like, I feel | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
sometimes the only choice is to either win the lottery and move, or | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
:10:03. | :10:03. | ||
And if you need advice about noisy neighbours, there is more | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
:10:13. | :10:16. | ||
The discovery of the remains of King Richard III right here in | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Leicester is still making headlines around the world and drawing the | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
crowds and no wonder, because this is one of the most important and | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
exciting recent archaeological finds. But it takes hours of | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
painstaking work to build up a picture of our past - work that's | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
going on all the time really by professional and amateur | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
:10:41. | :10:49. | ||
archaeologists, all trying to find It's big news. The world's media | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
descends on Leicester. The skeleton of a king has been found under the | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Social Services Car Park by archaeologists from the University | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
:11:05. | :11:21. | ||
of Leicester. This is where the great discovery was made. Had the | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
be tureens built a little bit further that way, there would be | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
nothing to find. But here in the East Midlands, we have no shortage | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
of important archaeological finds, and we pass by some of them every | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
Not far from where Richard III was buried is the Jewry Wall on the | :11:39. | :11:49. | |
:11:49. | :12:02. | ||
other side of Leicester's ring road. Romans would have got here to | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
socialise, to do business, it is a social hub. It was found when the | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
foundations were being dug for a swimming pool, excavated in the | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
1930s by archaeologist Dame Kathleen Kenyon, who thought at | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
first she'd found the Roman Forum and, well, some things don't seem | :12:15. | :12:24. | |
:12:25. | :12:29. | ||
There was a lot of press coverage, the people of Leicester found it | :12:29. | :12:37. | |
exciting, to watch. This is of huge significance in terms of scale, it | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
is the tallest Roman monument left in this country, which is pretty | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
impressive. We are looking at 24 ft in height, it is no mean feat to | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
have this in a city centre. Other development work in the city over | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
the years has also given archaeologists a chance to excavate | :12:54. | :13:03. | |
previously inaccessible areas. are very lucky, we have some of the | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
most beautiful Roman mosaics in the country. This is the Blackfriars | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
pavement, referred to by some experts as one of the nicest. It | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
was found during the development worker for the building of the | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
Great Central Railway. So, the more holes they can dig, the more | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
archaeologists can find out, and it's not just in Leicester but all | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
over the East Midlands that they're looking for clues to the past. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
have dug 90 pits. In Southwell, students from the Universities of | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Leicester and Nottingham have a novel way of doing it. They're | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
taking archaeology into back gardens. The children are very | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
interested, they thought it was a fantastic opportunity to seek | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
Archaeology in action. Each year, they advertise for as many people | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
as they can get to have a small pit dug in their garden. We hope to | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
build up a database of hundreds from around the town, and only with | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
that number can you get the complete history, the complete | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
picture, because different parts of the town have been occupied in | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
different periods, and have grown at different times. At the local | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
fun day, it might seem strange to see a test pit being dug amongst | :14:22. | :14:32. | |
:14:32. | :14:32. | ||
the stalls and rides. We want the community to be engaged, digging, | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
said this is a great place to be. It is the air of mystery and | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
excitement, finding things that have never been seen for thousands | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
of years. Some wonderful pottery, it is or medieval. You might think | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
you could drop a flowerpot and have this, but this is really special. | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
Each piece has a story. Maybe with this piece, a Saxon mother was | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
cooking some stew and she dropped the pot, perhaps. There it is, of | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
1000 years later, in our pit. They're hoping some of the | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
youngsters here get the archaeology bug. Maybe they'll be the making | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
the big finds of the future. switched the metal detector on, I | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
got a huge signal. Just down the road in Newark is a tree surgeon | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
who became interested in archaeology when he was a teenager. | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
If anybody had seen me, they would have thought I was crazy, it was | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
raining, dark, and I was scratching at the hole. Maurice made the news | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
with a find in 2005. I scooped at, and I saw Gold Cup I could feel my | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
heart beating faster. I saw this Nicholas appearing. Now, I've | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
realised, I have hit the jackpot. Maurice had found an Iron Age torc | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
:16:12. | :16:13. | ||
worth �350,000. We put it in a box, in a carrier bag. We took it to the | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
coroner's office. It went on from there. Valuable finds are assessed | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
by the coroner. It was classed as treasure trove, so half of the | :16:21. | :16:29. | |
proceeds went to Maurice and half to the landowner. I do not do it | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
for money, I never have done. Everything I have found is either | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
in museums or in my collection at home. But there's always one thing | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
people are curious about. They always want to know where it was | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
found. It has got to be fair for the farmer, because if everybody | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
found out, they would be contacting him, wanting to go on the land. | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
They never will find out from the! The torc's now in the British | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
Museum, but there are plans to bring it back to a new museum in | :17:00. | :17:10. | |
Newark, where it will be the star exhibit. I have been doing this for | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
2 1/2 years. It's a constant dilemma for archaeologists. What do | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
you do with the finds once you have them? These buildings are based on | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
excavations, and all of the interpretations that people have | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
done. Back in Leicester, the very old meets the very new. Students | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
from De Montfort University are developing an app for the Jewry | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Wall museum that visitors can use to bring the Jewry Wall bathhouse | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
back to life. At the moment, it is not completely accurate, but we are | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
getting there. That is the main entrance. The plan is to be able to | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
walk around the site and see what was there in Roman times. If my -- | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
I moved to the right, those are the baths, from Roman Leicester. This | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
is so much fun! When you see the things coming to life, and you can | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
work with them, it is really exciting. You will be able to work | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
-- walk inside the Bath, and look at how they were, the grandiose | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
baths. So it's up to the city to make sure the public know about the | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
treasures on its doorstep, or ring road. When the visitor centre opens, | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
we are expecting some queues. Richard III will bring tourists to | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
Leicester, and the hope is some of them will visit the Jewry Wall | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
museum too. The city mayor has got plans for the gardens. They will | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
start to open this side of the town up. He is looking to connect | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
Leicester, to connect this historic part of the city with the modern | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
retail heart, which is just over the ring road. There are plans for | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
this to become a permanent Richard III exhibition. This is a wonderful | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
opportunity. To tell the story of Richard but also to relate it to | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
the long and rich history of our city. It is an important chapter in | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
it, but only one of many. archaeologists, whether | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
professional or doing it for fun, will keep digging, keep making | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
discoveries and keep finding out For years, people were using this | :19:26. | :19:36. | |
:19:36. | :19:41. | ||
as a car park. Who knows what else And here he is, the man of the | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
moment, King Richard III. Now, there aren't many people who choose | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
to make their living from folk singing, but in Derby a young | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
musician called Lucy Ward has decided to do just that. She's | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
already released one album, won a Radio 2 folk award and travels | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
thousands of miles a year playing the music she loves. Well, over the | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
:20:07. | :20:10. | ||
past 12 months we've been following This is Lucy Ward, she's 23, from | :20:10. | :20:19. | |
Derby, and is an award-winning folk singer. This next song is a true | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
story from Derby. She juggles a hectic schedule, writing and | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
recording new songs and playing over 100 concerts a year, including | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
some of the biggest festivals on the folk circuit. It is such a | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
dirty word for so many people, they imagine socks and sandals, but | :20:38. | :20:48. | |
:20:48. | :20:50. | ||
there are so many young people. It's Southwell Folk Festival. The | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
festival season's getting under way and Lucy tries to go to as many as | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
possible. You cannot help but know everybody! The beer tent is well | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
attended, as per usual! Over the summer she'll play at 24 festivals. | :21:05. | :21:14. | |
The trouble is, some of them are on the same weekend. Tomorrow, I am | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
going to Cumbria. That is a four hour drive. Then, at a four-hour | :21:20. | :21:29. | |
drive back here. Am I mad? I am not sure! For somebody who decided she | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
would come into folk music rather than go to university, and make a | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
:21:44. | :21:51. | ||
career out of it, she has come a The audiences have been getting | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
bigger since Lucy won the Radio 2 Horizon award for best folk | :21:54. | :22:04. | |
:22:04. | :22:06. | ||
newcomer last year. The award goes to Lucy Ward. Winning that award, | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
just getting nominated, to be honest, sent everything crazy. To | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
just be recognised with all of these other fantastic musicians his | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
mind blowing up, so two of the people who take a chance on younger | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
and emerging people, it is very helpful, I can tell you. Young folk | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
singers like Lucy are carrying on a centuries-old tradition. Songs are | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
passed down the generations, and it was because of some of the people | :22:33. | :22:42. | |
:22:43. | :22:44. | ||
here, like June Tabor and John Tams, that Lucy got into folk music. | :22:44. | :22:51. | |
opening theme from the Napoleonic War Series. A friend of mine from | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
Matlock. John Tams is from Derbyshire too, he's been playing | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
folk music for over 40 years. faced -- I first came across her | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
when she was 14 or 15, she played a concert in a church hall. You could | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
tell already that there was something there that was very | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
:23:19. | :23:22. | ||
special. Sugar? Two. I was going to the music but in Repton, I started | :23:22. | :23:31. | |
hearing folksongs. I said, I quite like this. Folk music tells truths. | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:46. | ||
Nobody knows who made them, the Those traditional songs began as | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
songs of the people. People over 405 hundred years have changed | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
dramatically, but we are still bothered about lost loves, and all | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
of the stuff that folksongs talk about. As well as singing | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
traditional songs, Lucy started writing her own, and some of them | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
:24:16. | :24:26. | ||
The stories are like small movies, they are wonderful tales. I never | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
set out to write songs specifically about Darbyshire, but it just | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
happened. If it is a good story, and the song comes out, it is there, | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
people are free to listen and see their own surroundings in it. | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
Lucy's first album has gone down well, and there's a chance before | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
her next gig to catch up with Drew from her record company to plan the | :24:52. | :25:01. | |
next one. The first album went all right. It has gone really well. | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
think we should do another one! Very presumptuous! I agree, it has | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
gone really well, you have got to take a lot of credit. The reviews | :25:12. | :25:21. | |
have been fantastic. Nobody was more astounded than me. People | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
should realise how much hard work needs to go into setting up a | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
record and building did that for a wind. Other people could learn a | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
lot. If we could get a time line together, we can start making plans | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
to release the second Lucy Ward album this year. It is all | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
exciting! Thank you! Let's get a cup of tea. Let's get a pint! | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
better! For a folk artist, this is the most important festival in the | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
country, and Lucy has been asked to perform for the first time. It's | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
the Cambridge Folk Festival. It has taken me a few years of e-mails and | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
knock backs to be in a position where they wanted me, and it is | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
exciting to be here. I am starting to get nervous, I am hoping I will | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
do the best job I can. It is a bit scared the! All of this stuff that | :26:19. | :26:27. | |
has been going on, it led me to think, if I was Prime Minister... | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
You have got to love a sentence that starts like that, especially | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
from somebody with blue hair. If you say to people you are a | :26:39. | :26:47. | |
musician, they perceive you are singing in front of a mirror. They | :26:47. | :26:57. | |
:26:57. | :27:00. | ||
do not think you are actually doing It is a very exciting thing it, you | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
can say that you have played Cambridge, it means a lot. It is | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
important that the new young singers model the songs in their | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
language and take them forward for the next generation. It's been a | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
year of firsts for Lucy. She's played in Holland, her first gigs | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
abroad, and has written music for a film, as well as doing 105 concerts | :27:22. | :27:32. | |
:27:32. | :27:32. | ||
and covering 16,000 miles. To some degree, it becomes your job, you | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
have got to leave at 4 o'clock and you will not get back until 3 am. | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
But there are moments, like when I see one of my CDs in a shop, it has | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
only happened a few times, but when you get recognised, that is when it | :27:49. | :27:59. | |
:27:59. | :28:05. | ||
Whatever she sets her mind to, she will make a good job of it. | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
Thankfully, she has decided to settle on folk music. All the | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
better for it. In all of the creative industries, he cannot | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
presume it will be like this. One day, I might have to get a proper | :28:18. | :28:28. | |
:28:28. | :28:34. | ||
Lucy Ward, ladies and gentlemen! Good luck, Lucy! And that's it for | :28:34. | :28:36. |
