Simon warner waiting rooms


Waiting Rooms (1997) is the debut (and to date, only) album by English singer-songwriter Simon Warner.

Contents

In part a product of the fashion for orchestral pop in mid-1990s Britain, the album is strongly influenced by Anthony Newley and Jacques Brel. The album was produced by former House of Love bass guitarist Chris Groothuizen in collaboration with Warner and his keyboard player/co-arranger Richard Benbow.

Waiting Rooms produced two singles, 'Wake Up The Streets' and 'The Wrong Girl' (the latter a vinyl-only release). Neither single was a hit.
