Louisa John-Krol - "Salamander" (live Mons 2009)

A glimpse of Louisa’s rare onstage caper, this video captures her performing with musicians she met the day before, after flying across the globe. Exquisite French chanteuse Nehl Aëlin plays piano to ‘Salamander’, Louisa’s tribute to songwriter Nick Drake, from the album Ariel a decade earlier. They struggle with acoustics to hear each other, ad lib and exchange smiles. In an age of slick delivery, ancient notions of divine imperfection unfurl. The goodwill is palpable. We think Nick Drake would smile too.
