I was thinking rather more of a recording project than a live show.
Mind you, A night at the Barbican with all the artists dressed to the nines.....sounds like fun!
Would have to a good Pianist....Huw Warren perhaps? He plays in all sorts of musical genres, and a very fine accompanist as his work with June Tabor and others, proves.

For the source singer bits, we could have a Wax Cylinder player on stage, and (Yes, of course, the vocal would have to played in from computer, or whatever), With someone pretending to crank the thing up.

And, we could make it a black tie event for the audience too. After all Folkies are notorious cross dressers. Well the men anyway, Mind you, it would be in keeping with Mr Brittens proclivities (Allegedly, he said quickly)

And, because it would look a bit sparse with only 2 people and a Bosendorfer on etage, we could have a complete visual backdrop.
Maybe Holograms of Joseph Taylor too.....


Nurse!.....The drugs have finally kicked in !!!!
