Lunchtime Concert – Vyvienne Long
October 4, 2018 at 1:15 pm - 2:00 pm
Vyvienne Long
Lunchtime Performance while Vyvienne visits students in Songwriting Masters programme
Vyvienne Long was the first to conceive and perform ‘cello song’ in Europe. Captivating the festival circuit with her sparse but hugely dynamic cover of “Seven Nation Army”, what was first perceived as a novelty has since become a niche subgenre that sits alongside the guitar and piano as the songwriter’s instrument of choice. Coming from a classical background, Vyvienne started out in the song writing world collaborating and touring with Damien Rice on his albums O and 9. Her own cello and piano-based songs found critical acclaim with the release of her debut album Caterpillar Sarabande. She has just finished recording her second solo studio album, amid ongoing collaborations, live engagements and the shifting sands of family life.
