The Berserk (comp. Hewat)
Nana’s Walkabout (comp. Johnny Cunningham)

This opening set revolves around change and possibly even growing up a little. The Berserk was written after an extremely bad spell of self-doubt. Life wasn’t doing what I thought it was going to do, and my dreams were being scunnered. My first thought was to cut my harp strings and smash the instrument to bits. Not totally practical. So I forced myself to write something. And it became the Berserk. Thankfully, like myself, it has mellowed (slightly) with age.

I learnt Nana’s many years ago, from Kenny Hadden. Kenny had brought along the soundtrack to ‘Peter and Wendy’, based on J.M Barrie’s 1904 “Peter Pan”. The music and lyrics to the puppet play were composed by Johnny Cunningham, and the whole thing is extremely beautiful and very dark. In Barrie’s words all children in their hearts know they are going to grow up - “Two is the beginning of the end.” Nooo, say it is not so!!!! Nana is the Darlings’ lolloping dog/nurse.
