the bees by Lara Gisborne
The seeds of Lara’s new EP were sown in Cambridge Botanic Gardens when her Dad nabbed the beekeeper for a chat. That image became a poem, became a tune and became the song 'the man who keeps the bees'. The songs were all written at home, with inspiration gained during the solitude of lockdown from memories, nostalgia, and the space which allowed expression of emotions that may otherwise have remained quiet.
The recording of the voice and guitar was done in the corner of my sitting room and the tracks sent to Chris in the studio, the photos taken near me in a local wildlife spot at a suitable social distance.
