Eliza Carthy & Ben Seal - Through That Sound (My Secret Was Made Known)

The legendary Bongo Club in the abandoned bus depot on New Street began as a
family-funded affair that has since grown into a fully-fedged Arts organisation
and celebrated club at the heart of Edinburgh's cultural life.
Sometime around the Millennium, Ben Seal served Eliza Carthy there in their role
as glamorous barkeep, and the two struck up a very silly friendship. Fast forward
twenty years and Ben, with brass in pocket from Creative Arts Scotland, phoned
Eliza and asked if she would submit to having an album produced for her: all new
collaborative songs, with Ben providing the sonic palette & arrangements, and
Eliza bringing her ideas and voice.
Through That Sound (My Secret Was Made Known) was to be a self-release on
Eliza's HemHem Records, with a launch tour scheduled for Spring 2020. The band
decamped to Whitby to rehearse while in the outside world the news rumbled
on...something about a virus...
A week before what turned out to be Lockdown Number One, the band looked
each other in the eyes, said goodbye, and that was it!
The Restitution fnally got the chance to play Through That Sound on tour 2021.
The live shows were immense and emotional, and the band agreed that once
Eliza's thirtieth-year celebrations with Queen Of The Whirl were over, they would
love to play the material again, and give the album another shot at life.
