ChimpanA cover Here comes the flood

 

Hello all!
 
Our ChimpanA project releases a new single on the 11th of April.
We’ve recorded a beautiful cover version of Peter Gabriel’s Here Comes The Flood.
 
Last year I was part of a short film made by Rhys Davies, James Cooke and Nathan Williams. They’ve kindly gifted us the footage and we’ve made a very powerful video for the song.
We can’t wait for you to see it!
 
Link to pre-save the single and buy an old skool CD here:
 

 

The amazing voice is Kirstie Roberts.
More soon…
Love Steve ❤️

Hello all
Here is the gorgeous video of a gorgeous Mal Pope song, I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye.
Mal was signed to Elton John’s label as a teenager and recently got his master tapes back - he is duetting with his young self.
 
He asked my boy Frankie if he would play the younger Mal on account of a similar hairdo. Frankie agreed for a ‘crisp 20 and a shandy’.
 
Filmed by the lovely Ian Parsons Tis Done at Sonic One Studios, Llangennech. 
 
Please share far and wide if ya moved to!
 
Thank you.
 
Love Steve
