On Friday 19th Feb Imogen played in front of a sold out crowd at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
During the show Imogen recorded a live improvised piece of music, where the key, tempo and time signature were chosen by the audience 30 seconds before she started. ”The Shepherdess” is what the audience heard.
All the proceeds from sales of “The Shepherdess” are going to Great Ormond Street hospital in London who helped save Imogen’s leg when she was just 12 months old.
In true Imogen style, the artwork for the download was crowd-sourced from fans who attended the show. If the download is deemed a success for the charity Imogen hopes to perform a live improvisation at every show on her upcoming North American tour, donating the proceeds of downloads to a charity in each city.
