Here is the video for my second single ‘Everything Is Magic’ from my forthcoming 10th Album ‘The Shape Of History’
About ‘Everything Is Magic’: “I needed this song to soar, to be ethereal, uplifting and exultant, cresting a darker undertone with emotional builds and dynamics. The magnificence of human nature when it rises up in the face of adversity and meets great challenges, endures great suffering and remains graceful and humble, with awe inspiring dignity. The impermanence of one’s own existence, merely the passage of eternity. The will to remain in the light. This song does exactly what a song should do, even with no lyrics to guide you, one will feel the weight of emotions, of history, of life, sometimes lifting up, sometimes falling down and sometimes comfortably numb. Some of the lyrics are personal to me, there is a subjective truth here and I get a wry pleasure from them, but I’ve written broadly too, everyone can relate.”

ALSO! MY UPCOMING IN-STORE TOUR!
Come and meet Wendy before the show, hang out for a little while and have her personalize your items. (Exact logistics will differ location to location so you’ll receive an email with instructions of where/how/when!)
To attend the in-store performance you will need to have purchased your entry with your location of choice, (****FYI – the retail vinyl and cd are different to the Deluxe versions I sell in my webstore) but once you’re in you will watch the show from a dedicated space and enjoy the full gig experience with Wendy and her band.
The whole event will include an ‘unplugged’ performance of some of the new songs and other favorites, by Wendy and her guitarist Alex.
It will also include a spontaneous Q&A session! So think of a question you’d like to ask and step up to the mic! It is bound to be a lively, funny and interesting talk!
When the performance and q&a is finished, Wendy will be at the merchandise stand to sign anything you purchase and take photos too!
