サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Eddi joins Genevieve to reminisce about her quick rise to fame after Fairground Attraction's debut number one hit Perfect.
She talks about how she came to front the band, how she modelled her style on a French resistance fighter and the tempestous relationship that caused the band to be short lived.
Eddi explains how she regained her confidence after the band split and the challenges she faced in the music industry as a solo artist while trying to keep her musical authenticity.
She also chats about how Fairground Attraction came to reunite, their new album and tour, the importance of healing past grievance and celebrating their musical legacy.
Plus she reveals the hazards of travelling with an accordion...!
