כתבה חדשה על לוסי
לוסי יוצאת למזע הופעות שירה עם זמר ניו זילנדי מוכר בשם Dave Dobbyn סיכום הכתבה בכמה משפטים: לוסי מאד מעריצה את הזמר. הזמר מעריץ את לוסי. מכיוון ולוסי אוהבת לעשות דברים מסוכנים או ברי סיכון היא רוצה לצאת להופעות עם דובין למרות שהיא לא ממש בטוחה בקול שלה. דונין מצידו מאד מוקסם מהאישה ושמח על החלטתה. כדאי מאד לקרוא את הכל, קצת קשה לדעת מתי לוסי צוחקת ומתי היא רצינית בגלל שזו כתבה ואי אפשר לשמוע את התשובות שלה. (האנגלית לא קשה) עדי NZ Sunday Star Times The Odd Couple December 8, 2002 MAJOR THANKS TO Mary D for the Info!! She´s an international TV star. He´s a Kiwi music icon. So when Lucy Lawless and Dave Dobbyn go on a rock tour together, who will be doing who a favour? Sarah Stuart talks to the newly minted double act. She was an unknown 21-year-old rushing home to her eight-month-old baby. He was an infamous Kiwi rocker rushing past her to the bar. "I´m Lucy Lawless and I want you to remember my name," the aspiring actor said, waggling her finger at a diminutive Dave Dobbyn. He promptly forgot it - it was, after all, free booze at an awards night in the once-glamorous Trillos convention centre in Auckland. "And I forgot almost everything in those days." Thirteen years later and the fan is a superstar, the rocker´s dry and that baby is 14 and heading out to summer gigs, much like the one her mum and Dobbyn are about to embark on. The Dave and Lucy Show will be an 11-venue celebration of classic Kiwi summer songs, as sung by a worried warrior princess addicted to risky career moves but nervous as hell. "I´m dabbling and I admit it and I apologise to the potential audience," she says. But she wasn´t going to let an opportunity like this pass her by. Internationally famous stars of American TV cult hits guaranteed to run for decades don´t need to test themselves with a new career. The wealthy Lawless, star of Xena, Warrior Princess, could be resting on her celebrity laurels in her Malibu mansion, reading film scripts. Instead she´s stretching vocal cords she´s a little unsure of and heading for motels in New Zealand´s kitschiest holiday towns. "I´m deeply envious of her confidence," says Dobbyn. "I have been painfully shy and had bouts of severe self-doubt which have clouded my career all through my life." "It must look like confidence but it´s not that," says Lawless, eating biscotti between rehearsals and photo-shoots. "I have a deathly fear of stagnating. It´s being attracted to being afraid. I have to do the scariest thing because otherwise I´m missing out on things and I don´t want to end up being an old lady with bruised shins from kicking myself." Singing, for Lawless, is the scariest thing. Once an aspiring opera singer, a bad experience as a teenager has made her paranoid about her voice. "I had a singing teacher who was wrong for me," she says. "I developed bad habits. But singing with Dave and working with a voice coach in LA has helped." The tour double act was Dobbyn´s manager´s idea. Left-field, certainly. But with chart-topper Anika Moa as support, it´s almost guaranteed a sell-out. "She said Lucy sings," says Dobbyn. "I said, that´s wacky. And now it´s not wacky - it´s deeply, deeply serious." "He knew he could sing, the band could play and I was confident," says Lawless of Dobbyn´s enthusiasm for the project. "I think he´s bored and wants to go out and meet people." It was almost named The Dave and Lucy Show and after only a couple of weeks working together their banter is like that of old buddies. There´s still a lot of the adoring fan in Lawless, who says she grew up with the music she´s most keen to sing: Dobbyn, Split Enz, Sharon O´Neill, Space Waltz. And Dobbyn, sans alcohol, is a man who gets on with everyone. חלק ב´ בהמשך
