When a song called ‘Fall on Me‘, was played on the Johnnie Walker show last year on BBC Radio 2, he was inundated with e-mails wanting to know who this new singer songwriter was, where they could find out about her, and most importantly would he ‘please play more‘. He had so many requests that he decided to mention her website the next day, and informed the listeners that it was taken from ‘Montpelier‘ a debut album by a singer songwriter called Jane Taylor who was from Bristol and who interestingly enough had produced everything under her own little label, Bicycle Records.
At least once a year, producer Frank Peterson retreats with his headphones to raid his extensive music collection in the search for new repertoire. It takes a lot of instinct and inspiration to choose the songs for a project like Gregorian. "Not every song is suited for the Gregorian sound scale," he explains, "so the songs have to be chosen very carefully for Gregorian." Luckily, Peterson's immense music knowledge seems inexhaustible and there are no limits to his creativity.
