about

My new album ‘Heaven Knows’ is a collection of mostly original songs written in the folk and acoustic style. Compared to my last album it has bigger arrangements, with guests from some great musicians I have met through gigging - including the wonderful Nick Hall and Chris Elliott. I was very excited to be approached by Folkstock, a great independent label that supports developing acoustic artists. I’m particularly excited to be working with producer Lauren Deakin-Davies, I loved her work with Kelly Oliver and Kate Dimbleby. We had a really fun time messing around, recording the songs together! Recording this album with Lauren has allowed me to experiment in both production and song writing – from the development of new guitar techniques, to new, bigger arrangements.

‘I am the Tide’ is a love song with a big folk ballad feel, it features the beautiful vocals of Nick Hall and the fiddling of Chris Elliott, which really brings the song together.

lyrics

An empty bed and a sleepless night;
Cold and empty sheets.
How I long for your embrace;
And a warm and dreamless sleep.

I am the tide,
You are the moon.
I rise, I fall for you.
I am the tide,
You are the moon.
I rise, I fall for you.
I rise, I fall for you.

You’ve been with me, in my dreams.
You keep me safe and near.
Where this cruel world might take you yet;
I will find you here.

Chorus
Interlude

In my deepest and darkest fears,
Is the void left by you.
There’s no greater pain I have known,
Than the loss of love that’s true.

Chorus x 2

A remarkable artist just so much in charge of her vocal prowess and her guitar! Throw in the fabulous production, accompaniment and I love the journey. I really really can't resist making comparisons to Eva Cassidy - whom I adore. Hassles

Everything I Did Last Year (SINGLES COLLECTION)

supported by 4 fans who also own “BELLA GAFFNEY - Heaven Knows”

I have been listening to the singles for some time so when they were all released as a collection just had to buy the CD. I like Leytonstone, Valentina and Chinatown and the electric guitar version of Aston Expressway. While it is a singles collection I tend to think of it as an album and very playable it is too!

I have come to Bryde's music late..three years late on this album! But...loved it the moment I heard it. Such energy...and that wonderful voice. If you want music that reaches into your heart and drags it out both gently and furiously...this is it! wulfie512
