Close to Nowhere - Lynda Smyth & The Borrowed Few - 123

From the most isolated capital city in the world comes Close To Nowhere, a series uncovering the hidden independent music scene and urban culture of Perth, Western Australia. Recorded live in bars, cafes and shops around the city.

Irish born singer/songwriter Lynda Smyth has been performing in bands from the age of nineteen. It was in 2005, when Lynda returned to Ireland, that she began writing her own material. From the lounge-room of her uncle's Dublin home, the birth of her song-writing career began.

After her return to Perth, Lynda began playing at local venues. With haunting vocals, lullaby melodies and honest lyrics she began to receive much praise and recognition. This led to the recording of her debut EP, "Too Long Spring" in 2006.

In 2008, Lynda began recording her first album, Just Pretend. The album consists of an eclectic mix of songs, with local artists lending their talents and bringing her work to life.

Following the success of the album, Lynda sought out like- minded musicians to help reproduce and recreate her songs. In 2011, Lynda finally found her band, 'The Borrowed Few'. Local musicians, Dean Lucas, Julian Anderson and Peter Renzullo now lend their own talents and musical magic to the project. With the addition of double bass, mandolin and drums, the songs have been given a new lease on life. With sweet captivating melodies and harmonious hooks, this sweet outfit are capturing audiences.

Filmed at Frisk. Small Bar in Northbridge, filled to the brim with glorious gin.
