Yes, you heard (read) it right.
On the Fox’s Den Show last night, we were joined by New Zealand’s Aly Cook, a country/blues singer-songwriter. Aly is in the UK as part of the European leg of her world tour to promote her new album, Brand New Day and can be seen locally at the Towerfest at Drax, near Selby, tomorrow between 2.30 – 3.30pm
Also yesterday, Aly met her half brother, Les for the first time when he got off the aeroplane at East Midlands Airport at 3.30pm This meeting was filmed by New Zealand TV, who are making a documentary about Aly and Les and how they had never met and how they found each other. Paul Hobbs, NZ TV’s Europe Correspondent, along with his camerman Justin, came along to the studios to film Aly’s first hour in the studio so that they can add some of this footage to the documentary. This will be edited in London before being sent to NZ for broadcast and eventually will be available to download from the internet. As soon as we are sent the link we will post this here.
