About Lorraine Bowen

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Billy Bragg started me off! I had been working with him as a stand-in pianist/BVs on tours in the UK and Germany. He said 'you're good on stage - why not go solo'. I would never have started without his fabulous inspiration! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Brasil '65, Sérgio Mendes, Best of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65 Burt Bacharach, 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Burt Bacharach Gorillaz, Plastic Beach Sergio Mendes - oh the powerhouse of melody, harmony, latin beats and sunshine pop! Burt Bacharach - the most fantastic songwriter, melodist and creative arranger in 20th century. Plastic Beach - well I love the beats - who is the producer? Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Crumble Song (Pure Cane Sugar Version)” I always knew that my Crumble Song was catchy - but when it got on Britain's Got Talent, it went mad! Everyone was singing it - and people still get in touch singing it to me! I LOVE catchy melodies!
