Marsh Mellow - Skyline Recordings are incredibly excited to present this outstanding group that is Marsh Mellow – Louise Claire Marshall and Professor Geoff Gascoyne.

Both have worked with countless A-listers.

She's worked with many others includingNoel Gallagher, Chaka Khan, Dionne Warwick, Roy Ayers, Tom Jones & Ed Sheeran. She'scurrently the featured vocalist with Jools Holland and performs regularly at Ronnie Scott's. Geoff has played with legends such as Van Morrison, Eartha Kitt, Michel Legrand, Georgie Fame,Bob Dorough, Mari Wilson, Eddie Izzard, Mingus Big Band, Stingand many more. All while taking time to be a Professor at the Guildhall School of Music; composing music for KPM and BMG and being Jamie Cullum's musical director and chief arranger for 8 years.

Two utterly brilliant musicians, at the top of their respective fields had only ever performed together for others. They didn't know the incredible chemistry that was to follow when they finally worked together – unusually during the Covid 19 lockdown - when Geoff created an online song writing club which Louise joined instantly.

Happy On My Own and Stop, Look, Listen were the brainchildren of some of these sessions.

Happy On My Own is a mid-tempo vocal track that hits all the right spots, makes you want to dance, makes you feel happy, excited and it doesn't make you feel lonely because we're all happy on our own. It was inspired by the having to be on your own during lockdown; however, it is entirely relatable to many other situations where you find yourself alone. What is so significant about this song is the pure joy it gives you. Both words and music are positive and compelling. A real twist on the usual sad 'all alone' vibe we've heard so many times before. Stop, Look, Listen is super soulful slow jam where you feel the music and the sound around it, an essential soul number.

This is a must-have double A 45rpm. Enjoy.
