TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER INTERVIEW Its about 9:30pm on quite a cold wet night in Glasgow, hardly a glamorous location to be interviewing a legendary dance diva, but yet that is what happened. Armed with a cup of hot camomile tea and some home made carrot cake (thanks Nigella dear) I pick up the phone and rather nervously await the one the only Martha Wash to grace me with her husky tones, and after a mouthful of that carrot cake I hear, “Hello is that George?” I genuinely had to dispose of the carrot cake into a thankfully nearby piece of kitchen paper before I could respond, and here is what happened. The New Album I have been listening to your new album “Something Good” for the past few days and it really is quite a good album. Thank you honey, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It’s quite a positive album isn't it, it’s quite empowering and uplifting and just very feel good. Yeah I think so, and you know I’ve had such a wonderful response from everyone who has heard it, my core fan base know I just don’t do the dance songs and they have embraced it. It has a few different influences on there, there's a little bit of Gospel and Country touches to some of the songs, but yes I’m very happy that people have responded to it positively. 35
