Earlswood, Haywards Heath and Hassocks, and
ontowards the sea. For two years, this was a
journey that RaissaKhan-Panni would make several
times a week; writing notes in herjournal as the
train edged past Three Bridges, staring out of
thecarriage window, dreaming. Khan-Panni was once
better known asRaissa, a solo artist that revealed
an extraordinary jumble ofinfluences; a mix of
Chinese, Indian, Mexican and Englishness. Shewas
raised in the South London district of Tulse Hill,
immersedfirst as a child in classical music, and
later discovered thedelights of Rickie Lee Jones
and Prince. Raissa learned oboe,taught herself to
sing, and bunked off school to head up toLeicester
Square and busk. In her late teens she busked all
overEurope, performing Mozart in Vienna's Mozart
Square, playingguitar, oboe, violin, and singing
along to a ghetto blaster, beforeheading back to
the these shores to study music at Bristol. In
astrange twist of fate, the right collaborator in
fact found her.One day Khan-Panni was sent a track
that a friend-of-a-friend hadwritten around one of
her vocals. "It was so completely amazing,"she
recalls, "after waiting so many years I knew this
was theperson I wanted to work with." The problem
was the track came withno contact telephone
number, just a name: Mark Horwood. They metand
started writing together. For a long time the
project wasnameless; just Horwood and Khan-Panni
and their ever-changing castof musicians.
Eventually they would take their name from
themedieval performing troupes who would go from
door-to-door wearingmasks and costumes, staging
plays in rhyme and song and mime. Theproject took
two years, with Khan-Panni making the regular
commutefrom London, the waitressing shifts
gradually giving way to music.The result is Tale
To Tell, originally sectioned into two
separateparts. Khan-Panni describes these opening
chapters as being thestory of her time away in
mundanity, but it is also a story thatsomehow
manages to weave together nightbuses, negro
spirituals, theOwl and the Pussycat, the Wings of
Desire, orange trees, earlymorning walks through
London and the fairytale tapes she wouldlisten to
at bedtime every night as a child, set to the
sound of acarnival and a marching band and a
string quartet, and sung inKhan-Panni's bewitching
tones; it is the sound of the ordinary castadrift,
of the humdrum left to float somewhere
extraordinary.

Telling Tales on Mam and Dad.

Advantages: Great introduction to Bennett.
Disadvantages: Quite pricey for a short book.

?Telling Tales? by Alan Bennett does exactly what it says on the cover? Alan Bennett, one of the country?s best loved wordsmiths, tells ten tales about his childhood in Leeds, a provincial city in the West Riding where life generally tended to avoid. In several of the tales Bennett details the causes of his frustration as a youth ? he knew that his family was very ordinary (not working class, but certainly not middle class), yet at the same time being much different to all others. His mother, too, assumed that life for everyone else was much different to hers and that the cocktail party lifestyle she read about in Woman?s Own was the norm and attainable by a move to the hallowed ?down South?. We learn much about Bennett?s ?Mam and Dad? (so good to see the word Mam, I feel I?m one of the few who still uses it). Their real names were ...

Review of Telling Tales - Alan Bennett

Telling Tales

Advantages: Amazing vocals, brilliant instrumental, and catchy rifts.
Disadvantages: -

I have been a fan of Funeral For A Friend for the past couple of years, which has allowed me to follow their musical development through two previous albums ('Casually Dressed In Deep Conversations' and 'Hours'). Now I have had the chance to listen to their newest creation - 'Tales Don't Tell Themselves'. I have to say, this album wasn't what I was expecting from them. Only two of the songs remind me of their previous work - 'Into Oblivion' and 'Out Of Reach'. This might be a disappointment to some fans - but not to me. I keep listening to the songs over and over, and they all have catchy tunes you want to listen to again, and lyrics you want to learn just so you can sing along. Their new album shows how far the band have come since the start of their career, and it couldn't be better. My particular favorite tracks are 'The Great ...

Review of Tales Don't Tell Themselves - Funeral For A Friend

These 'Tales' are certainly worth telling...

Advantages: expansive, mature
Disadvantages: a distinct step away from the bands' old sound

They say time brings change, that nothing ever stays the same. And it's true, just ask Welsh rock mob Funeral For A Friend. The band have continued to grow ever since their startlingly brilliant debut Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation, so much so that frontman Matt Davies forayed effectively into alt-country land as part of side project The Secret Show just a mere couple of months ago. It's s a progression that's seeped whole-heartedly into the bands latest release, the battle-ready, all hands on deck ride that is Tales Don't Tell Themselves. It's safe to say many would - and doubtless will - scoff at the mere idea of a concept record based upon a lonely fisherman, lost at sea miles away from his wife and kids. But the Valley boys make it work, and work reasonably well too. This is Funeral For A Friend stepping outside ...
