A live performance by soprano Felicity Oakes and guitarist Michael MacManus.
Special thanks to my girlfriend Amy for taking the video, Jackie for lending her video camera, Sal for lending his tripod and Father Michael Kalka for allowing us use of the church!

We hope you enjoy this lovely Dowland piece :-)

Recording equipment:
Video: Sony Handycam
Audio: Mann M21 large diaphragm condensor and SE4 pencil condensor microphone running through a zoom H4N. No audio editing, this is the natural reverb from the church.
Venue: Sacred Heart Church, Kew, Victoria

  • Fantastic work by you Michael and Felicity on this song. I heard this song done by Sting recently and quite frankly I like your rendition more. The acoustics are wonderful. The guitar precision along with the haunting vocal make an appropriate blend within that beautiful church setting. I as a musician respect that. Here in the United States as well as in Italy, my families homeland, we love this music. So your work is truly appreciated by us. Brilliant !!! -- FB

  • @ExclusiveLM Thank you for your lovely comment! Yes, I've heard the Sting version as well....There is a lot of divided opinion on his Dowland performances, but one of my favourite performers of Dowland would probably be Emma Kirkby. I'm glad you enjoyed our rendition! Thanks for listening - Michael -

  • Great work. Very beautiful and fun to listen to you both. Congratulations!
