One evening in Brighton I was returning home from a Chinese theatre performance. The lovely music was lingering in my mind, then faintly something more heavenly began to surpass it. I waited for the source to catch me up on the hill, and that's how I came to meet Yangchen. She was singing so beautifully as she walked up. Not yet knowing her story, I asked her if she'd been one of the performers in the theatre! After that we would often run into each other in the neighbourhood, and stop and chat. Once I caught up with her at WOMAD. Such a lovely girl. She once took a step back from me and said 'You have so much power.' I just smiled because power was the last thing I thought I had, but I understand better now. I tried to find you again years ago, but maybe it was too early. It's so nice to see you here and discover your songs anew.
