Space-age sexiness and all that it stands for.I met LadyFerry when she was in the band 'Eyes of Medusa' In 1995 singing pumping, Hi-NRG gay disco at Bang in Streatham. The audience consisted of a mixture of celebrities, friends and Phillip Salon and his bunch of cohorts. It was a blast and we were all transfixed I can tell you! To see the energy generated on stage by what looked like a cross between Blondie and Hazel 'O' Connor with a mixture of sharp-edged sexiness! She was as entertaining then as she is now and she had the makings of a true star, a diamond in the rough yet to be polished.Soon after the gig a few months later, the band disintegrated. The songwriter Andy Butler got bored with the 'no-show' of immediate fame and fortune and his greed and lack of patience broke up the band. He was obsessed on becoming the new George Michael and had a bad haircut too so LadyFerry cut her losses but stayed in touch with her producer by phone and the obligatory Christmas card!In Autumn 1999 she was forcibly entered by her friends into a Pete Burns soundalike contest at 'Duckie' club and to her surprise she won! She was asked to perform a week later and mixed three of her fave songs together and sung live over them. The audience loved it and it was then that she decided that she'd like to get back into music again but how? Fate had a surprise for her just around the corner.....It was Christmas 1999 and LadyFerry received the usual card from her producer from her 'Eyes of Medusa' days. He wrote and asked if she'd be interested in making music. He was now going under the name of 'Descending Angel' and making Drum 'n' Bass records. She agreed wholeheartedly and called him the day she got the card and jumped at the chance to get back into the studio again!So in Spring 2000 LadyFerry embarked on a heady career making music. Starting with cover versions of her fave records, not just karaoke versions but ripping them apart, changing the lyrics sometimes and re-working them to her own original sound and style. The most successful being the Beat song 'Mirror in the Bathroom', a psycho ska version taking it to heights never really achieved by the original. After doing several gigs throughout 2000-2002 and being written about positively in magazines she pursued music with a new vengence.By Spring 2002 she had recorded seven covers including two versions of 'Say hello...wave goodbye' but unfortunately after losing her best friend at the beginning of the year she started to write her own songs and out of the hell-fire has come some pretty remarkable stuff too! Her best song to date is 'Lead me on....' A cross between 'Torch' by Soft Cell and ABBA's 'The Winner Takes it All'. This is LadyFerry at her best, you can really feel the angst and hurt she feels as she sings 'Cause all I'm hearing is our song, say hello and wave goodbye....'. A real tear-jerker.Now she continues to write from her heart and soul with new songs like 'Cock-er-ney Reject', a song about a flaky builder boyfriend! She did a photo shoot and interview for the September 2003 issue of top-totty sex mag 'Forum' and was a special guest invited to be featured in 'Diners' a BBC3 programme, and was seen in 2004 as a guest on the Channel 4 programme 'The Salon' having lip implants!As the Yazz song says 'The only way is up!' LadyFerry states!And thats where shes going, up! To heights and a future looking bright, sparkly and showing beautiful brilliance as the polished diamond she has now become. A leading light in the new-wave of music to come.Anton Mauve - June 2007.
