I transferred my VHS to a DVD a couple of years ago using a machine that does these things when the Copyright Cops don't interfere. PS I take it everybody saw the recent news on the "BasiaSongs" site? If not I've copied it here:- 22.1.14 Double Polish Honour! Hello Friends! I have to share with You a huge event in my life that I experienced only Monday. As You must know by now I was born in Poland and to my great surprise the President of the Republic of Poland awarded me with one of Poland's highest orders - the Knights Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta 'for the outstanding achievement in promoting Polish culture in the world' and from the Polish Minister for Culture I received a Decoration for Merit to Polish Culture. Because I live in England - the ceremony took place in the Polish Embassy in London and I was presented with both awards by the Polish Ambassador in London - Mr Witold SobkC3w. I feel a little overwhelmed by this honour and I am not sure if I really deserve it, but I am very thrilled and very grateful. I think my Parents, were they still alive, would be very proud of their daughter, but although they could not be with me yesterday - it was still a very moving experience for me, because my Sister and Brother with their partners, my Son, and my closest Friends were present at the ceremony. Most of them flew in specially for this occasion from Poland. Of course Danny White and his wife were there too, because without my long musical partnership with Danny I would not be getting all this incredible recognition. All of us were touched deeply by the hospitality and warmth afforded to us by the Ambassador and the entire Embassy staff. I talked to a few journalists afterwards and every one of them asked about our new record; I was happy to tell them that Danny and I are working on new songs for our next album. Interestingly I recently recorded a duet with a Polish singer living in London, called Monika Lidke. Monika wrote a song, called 'Tum Tum', which I instantly liked after I heard her demo, because of the beautiful lyric (in Polish), Brazilian influenced feel and lovely melody. She is just about to release her new album, where this song will be included, but the legendary Polish radio presenter Marek NiedE:wiecki already put this song on his 14th compilation - 'Marek NiedE:wiecki's Smooth Cafe'. Also, at the moment Danny, Mark Reilly (of Matt Bianco) and I are working on a song together, which is developing very nicely :). It should be finished within a week or two. Again it is a duet sung by me and Mark and will most probably be called 'Show time'. We're hoping to include this song as part of a 30 year anniversary rerelease of the first Matt Bianco record - 'Whose side are you on' This all makes for an exciting start to the New Year, which I hope will be very happy for all of us!
