Biography:
Rachel Sermanni, 7 November 1991. Is a songwriter from a small village in the Scottish Highlands called Carrbridge. It’s very nice up there.
Sometimes she plays solo and at others she is surrounded by a group of wonderful musicians consisting of Laura Wilkie, Siobhan Anderson and sometimes Louise Bichan (the fiddle pixies), Leo and Declan Forde and pianist Jennifer Austin.
She played the Communion night at Notting Hill Arts Centre in London, having had her track My Friend Fire, recorded and produced by Ben of Mumford and Sons.

[verse 1]
Am
Balanced on the railway track
B Am
I felt your eyes upon my back
F C
the London train moved swiftly
E D B Am
Past to cover silent ground
Am
Darting through your shrouded woods
B Am
Ignite your fire and douse my good
F C
Your smoky trail a path I'll suit
E D B Am
I find myself alone
[Chorus]
Am F D F D C D C G F
I was dancing... ...could not geet away

[Verse 2]
Am
She has eyes as sharp as knives
B Am
a face more soft than snow
F C
I watch her from my oldest life
E D B Am
I wonder if she knows
Am
Sense her like my best kept thought
B Am
there still with my thickest blood
F C
like bees and toast to honey pots
E D B Am C
we stick ourselves to sweet

and we both dance away
