Songs of Time Lost

Piers Faccini and Vincent Segal met in Paris in the late 1980s and have been friends ever since. Songs of Time Lost is their first joint album. Using voice, guitar and cello - and in a variety of languages from English to Neapolitan dialect and Creole - the album brings together original compositions, traditional songs and some covers.. "Reprising music and songs that we love", Piers Faccini explains, "is a way for US to see how we can do them justice, with honesty and precision. You have to adapt to them, mould them to yourself, like an item of clothing or a shoe. And for that you need time, a lot of time. If you try and run too fast then you're probably going to fall flat."
