The Patsy accompanied by Gwyneth Herbert

As part of the Blonde Crazy season at the BFI for the 2010 Birds Eye View Film Festival

Multi- talented singer-songwriter Gwyneth Herbert composes and performs live for The Patsy.

The Patsy  USA 1928. Dir King Vidor. With Marion Davies, Marie Dressler, Jane Winton. “Have you always had so much hair?” croons lovelorn Pat (Davies) to Tony, but he’s already smitten with her dark-haired vampish sister (Winton). Poor Pat is the black (blonde) sheep in a conniving female-dominated household with only her curmudgeonly father to sympathise. However this Cinderella is more than just a beauty and it’s not long before her many other charms become apparent. A laugh a minute comedy.

Gwyneth Herbert  Gwyneth first broke onto the scene five years ago, when she was signed up by the Universal conglomerate as a jazz crossover artist. Finding that role too stifling, she soon struck out on her own, as a singer-songwriter, inspired as much by Janis Ian and Joni Mitchell, as by Billie Holliday or Nina Simone.
