Multi-instrumentalist Dave Sanderson now performs under the name Flowerbed, a name he conjured up while taking a bath! Originally from 'up north' he now lives in Devon and is waiting to hear your thoughts on his demo...

What's the history of Flowerbed?
It's just me. I thought of the name when I was in the bath. I started off with an ambient CD then a couple of EPs of songs which later formed part of an album. It's called Songbook - and there's a website too if you want to find out more.

What's the name of the track you want us to listen to?
It's called Keepsakes. It's a song about sentimentality and the benefit of hindsight.

And it's all yours...
I sing and play it all, yes.

You've moved from the North East to sunnier climes here in Devon - what do you love about the county?
It's relaxing here. It's friendly enough too but I do think there's too much traffic!

You've a background in classical music, what do you think of the current music scene?
There's never been so much good music as there is today, but you have to go out and find it yourself. The music media is a shambles!

You can sample some of the other songs on the album by logging on to Flowerbed.com

So how would you describe your sound?
In three words? Acoustic, laid-back and melodic.

Whose records do you have in your collection?
A fairly wide range really; Beatles, XTC, Dream Theatre, Stevie Wonder, Steve Reich.

And if you could have any three people as dinner guests, who would they be?
Billy Connolly - a great bloke.
John Lennon - another great bloke.
Marilyn Monroe - to play footsie with under the table!

You've already had a small taste of fame, writing jingles for Steve Wright and getting a song in the lower reaches of the charts but what would you do if you became famous now?
I wouldn't change a thing. Absolutely nothing.
