"Day Dream" was released under Trapeze Music and Entertainment Ltd in April 2022.

    ‘Really lovely…great nuances in the vocal…great arrangements too of course’
    Clare Teal – Jazz singer and broadcaster

    She sounds so authentic and stylish but fresh at the same time’
    John Wilson – conductor

    'Isobel has an innate musicality for sure but more impressive is her natural vocal swagger, a rare commodity, putting you ‘the listener’ immediately at ease.’
    Matt Ford – jazz and big band singer

about

Surrey With the Fringe on Top was written by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein for the 1943 musical Oklahoma!

lyrics

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters.
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down,
In case there's a change in the weather.
Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You can keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keep to swap
Fer that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!

Don't you wishty'd go on forever?
Don't you wishty'd go on forever?
Don't you wishty'd go on forever and you'd never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
