52
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: I do, whatever sort of ticking at the time, and

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: at the moment I've just That track that you just

54
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 2: played is one of the tracks from a covers record

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: that I actually created during Lockdown. I didn't intend to

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: make it into a record, but I was setting myself

57
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: a challenge every day to as everybody was doing this

58
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: mid wed moment in time, and I decided to learn

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: songs that I've never sung before. It's them to myself

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: on the guitar. And then when I was learning them,

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, I'm just going to the bathroom and

62
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: got really good acoustics. And so then I ended up

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: filming them and putting them up on social media and

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: got quite a bit of a following with people who

65
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: would check in every day to see what song I

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: was doing. And then about a year and a half

67
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: after Lockdowns, I was listening back to some of the

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: tracks and thought, well, I wonder what that would be

69
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: like as a record. So I've got a friend of

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: mine who's an engineer to turn them into audio files,

71
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: and then I applied for a grant who has created

72
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: Victoria to develop it into an album and to get

73
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: other instruments and musicians to a company on the track

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: and that's vum Douche is the name of the record.

75
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: Yes, I've heard a few of the tracks that you've

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: got there, some lovely renditions as well. You do a

77
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: bit of something in the Air thunder Clapton, even Ventura

78
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: Highway one of the great songs as well, and I

79
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: played a bit of Elton John's rocket Man. And people

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: can get the album the CD. How do they find it?

81
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: And how do you how do you pronounce it again?

82
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: Van Douche which is French for bath shower?

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, I've got why not? Right? Why not?

84
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: And it was also a really famous club in the

85
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: nineties in Paris. Actually that was that's where I sort

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: of first thought about it, because I remembered that as

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: a as a nightclub and then went, oh, maybe that

88
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: could work as the name of it. But you know,

89
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: it's available on all streaming platforms. But I actually have
