Zoëfied David Gray Cover

Just a quick ditty to celebrate 1300 likes on Facebook.

Only just learnt it this afternoon and thought I’d just stick it up as a free download if you wish, and hopefully, maybe introduce some people into the amazing world of David Gray (But who would that be, you should all know his awesomeness). Apologies for the minor mistakes, I was excited :3

Enjoy and well done for reading that big chunk of text, hope you enjoy more of my stuff

Shiny new song: Long, Distant Relationship

Posted on 16/10/2012 by Zoë

‘Ello guys! It’s the October half term, so for the next two weeks I’m off school (although I’m revising and have a heap of homework), I’m going to try and get in the spare-room studio and do some recordings, some more covers and stuff… Anyhoo, on Saturday I finally finished the words to a song that’s riff has been flying round my head for ages (probably driving mum and dad insane LOL), and thought I’d … Continue reading →

Making my first music video

Posted on 06/02/2012 by Zoë

A couple of weeks ago I filmed my first ever professional music video. It’s for my first single, 35 Missed Calls which should be released in a few weeks. And, later on today I’m getting a sneak peak at the finished video. I am really excited. The filming was a lovely experience although it was VERY cold and sometimes wet, and sometimes extremely muddy. Jessica, the film’s producer had developed a really nice story for … Continue reading →

Following John’s death in 2004 the show eventually moved across to Dandelion Radio and Jeff Grainger featured me on his show in … Continue reading →

Distilled Records signs Zoë Bestel – Woo Hoo!

Posted on 10/11/2011 by Zoë

I think it’s only just sinking in, but yes, I’ve been signed by a record company! The owner of Distilled Records, Steve, was at my CatStrand gig in August and approached me and my Dad afterwards and said, “We need to get Zoë into the studio.” I didn’t really know that, “We need to get Zoë in the studio” meant he’d like me to sign to his label. But yeah, we’ve agreed to record four … Continue reading →
