Singer and comedian Liza Pulman has released a video and free download of her recording of 1920s classic ‘Bye Bye Blackbird’ taken from the Fascinating Aida star’s recently released EP of tracks from her upcoming album.
Featuring Joe Stilgoe on piano and Tony Levin on bass, the track is taken from the album The Heart of It which was produced by Chris Porter and was recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios. The album which features Pulman accompanied by musicians Tony Levin, Danny Cummings and Chris Cameron will now be released to coincide with Pulman’s re-scheduled concert dates at London’s Riverside Studios from 19 April to 25 April 2021.
Announcing the release of the video which has been created using black and white photographs taken by Bob Berry during the recording of the album Pulman said: “It’s always fascinating how everyone has their own favourite and how four songs can provoke such different reactions, but the response to ‘Bye Bye Blackbird’, the track I recorded with the wonderful Tony Levin and the obscenely talented Joe Stilgoe, has been overwhelming, perhaps because this is a song that feels so right for these troubled times; a lyric that says goodbye to the dark times and heads firmly towards the light.

“We were asked many times to create a video for this song and so we have pieced together some photos from the amazing time we spent recording at Real World Studios. No blackbirds, just a few pics of me looking moody in black and white!”
‘Bye, Bye, Blackbird’ is one of four tracks from the album on the EP release. The other tracks on the EP are ‘Unchained Melody’, ‘My Favourite Year’ and ‘I’ve Got A Feeling I’m Feeling I’m Falling’. ‘Bye, Bye, Blackbird’ can be downloaded free of charge HERE.
One third of Fascinating Aida since 2004, Pulman’s musical theatre credits include Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium with Michael Ball and the UK tour of Doctor Dolittle with Phillip Schofield.
