The Norfolk-based author, Louis de Bernières, most famous for ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ has teamed up with singer/songwriter, Selina Hawker, on her first music video.
The single ‘Trance’ crosses the divide between jazzy pop and classical music, using acoustic and electric instruments.
The pair met at the Norfolk Academy of Gymnastics near Attleborough, where their daughters were training.
Mrs Hawker, a music teacher at Great Yarmouth Charter Academy, said: “Many students have brought me lyrics about painful subjects and I have helped them make these into songs. It’s a real privilege.”
Most of the music video was filmed underwater in a swimming pool in Hingham and at Ketteringham Hall.
Mr de Bernières said: “Selina is a delight to work with, she has contributed an enormous amount to my recordings with her voice and violin and I am glad to have contributed a little to hers too.”
