Her longest-serving guitarist, Chris Newman, is the accompanist, with other session musicians, and it was recorded in a studio in Plymouth. Very unusually, there is no Cornish language track in her repertoire for this concert, which she did undertake to include in every performance. The first character you’ll meet, let’s call her Mrs Honeybun, is a hark back to Brenda’s amdram days in pantomime and local theatre groups – Mr Honeybun, who you’ll meet later, is a much-loved lifelong friend of Brenda’s, Donald Jarvis. If you were at my wedding, you probably have etched on your memory Chris and my ‘wedding dance’, Honeybun, performed as an appalling tribute to this number. Her first song, ‘Come On In’, was used as the opening track to her weekly request programme, ‘Sunday Best’, throughout her 10-year stint as a Radio Cornwall DJ. The song selection is pretty diverse, from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and a jazz medley, to ‘Vanity’ – written by a great friend, Dave Semmens, a long-haired local guitarist/songwriter who went on to spend his life working as a London solicitor. The lovely ‘Now and Then’ is a real mystery – I believe it may actually have been written by Brenda.
