We’ve just posted a new video of Liz Clarke’s beautiful atmospheric version of the traditional folk song “Red Red Rose”.

The song features a sparse guitar arrangement which was written, performed (and produced) by Paul Mcilwaine and it perfectly backs Liz’s trademark pure and clear vocals.

This is the 2nd video of a song taken from her latest album DESTINY which features a wide range of musical styles and genres, including one other equally beautiful traditional folk song.

The album (and this song)  is available from all major music download sites worldwide and also on CD from this website (click on this link): https://planktonrecord.wpengine.com/discography/destiny/

Plankton Records band ECHO recently visited the south coast to play a gig in a Costa Coffee in Portsmouth. They filmed and posted this video diary which shows the glamourous life of the band on the road and some quality in-car entertainment (if you ignore the ‘singing’ of Greg the bass player/driver). Smell that coffee and watch the video – expresso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-CSg5_xXsc&feature=youtu.be
