About Me

'And who shall silence all the airs and madrigals that whisper softness in chambers?' - Milton

"Sophisticated in their simplicity, these neo-retro threnodies capture the romance and ambiance of a fourteenth century garden party without sacrificing a certain jaded, post-modern realism." - Janus Nygaard

Hi Rachel,I'm touched and flattered that your band would want to record a song based on me. I like the sound of it very much and think the singer has a very good voice too. Good luck with everything that you do.Best wishesDaniel Tammethttp://www.optimnem.co.uk/blog/2006/11/ballad-of-tamme t.html
