'Candlelight' is a track from the brother/sister Newcastle upon Tyne synth duo's 2007 album 'Sophie & Peter Johnston' which is available via their website www.sophieandpeterjohnston.com . Big thanks to Martin Wren-Hilton for the video.
how very wonderful. Their Peel session is close to my heart, and as a (blush!) youngster I wrote to them saying how great I thought they were. I got a really nice letter back from Peter. I wish they'd become the stars their talent merits, but in a way their anonymity keeps the music and meaning pure. Still think they should be millionaires, mind... many thanks for putting this up.
Thanks for posting this video. I've was listening to their debut album and started thinking 'I wonder what they are doing now'. How old is this song?
Been a fan since those early 80's Peel sessions, but had forgotten them for a few years (sorry Sophie and Pete). Nice to know they are still doing stuff... good stuff to!!! :)
Yes, thanks to John Peel.
