Zitat des Tages von Eddi Reader:
I've often felt I've been born out of my time, and when I started Fairground Attraction in the 1980s, I wanted to be a 1940s jazz singer.
A couple of taxi drivers have asked me if we can survive financially as an independent nation. I say, how come we are more stupid than Denmark or Finland or Sweden? They've all got the same amount of people. Are we all going to down tools? Is everybody in Scotland going to stop working?
Miley Cyrus is about making money. Amanda Palmer is about making art.
I can speak French, understand Gaelic and know my history. That's the training music has given me.
I'm just an ordinary, walking-down-the-street, mother of two children who sings for her supper.
'Vagabond' is about owning where I come from, understanding the real power music had to transport myself with, whether that's busking in Europe or getting number ones.
I've been a massive obsessive about jazz singers all my life.
