Jazz Jamaica opening Day 1 on the Open Air Stage at WOMAD Charlton Park on 29th July 2011. This was Myrna Hague's first song as guest vocalist, and one of my favourite songs given a lovely slow, laid-back arrangement.
I was watching this and had to leave the set early due to a suspected outbreak of chicken pox!! (Fortunately, the Womad onsite doctor said it was some wierd insect bites I was covered in!). I thought she was awesome and have been wondering ever since who the singer was. This song was especially beguilling. Have just noted that she was married to the legendary bandleader Sonny Bradshaw (RIP) and she founded the Ocho Rios Jazz Festival. Thanks for capturing and sharing this magic moment.
