OB returns to film music video

Old Bedalian Marika Hackman recently returned to Bedales for the day to film the official video for her latest single in the Lupton Hall. The video for Cannibal, taken from the album That Iron Taste released last week, was produced by Sean Stuart who has worked on videos for Tina Turner, Chaka Khan and Diana Ross. The song was produced by Charlie Andrew, the Mercury Prize Winning (2012) producer of Alt-J. Marika has just been on tour with Ethan Johns (producer of Kings of Leon and Paolo Nutini) and headlined a short national tour. Next week she is heading to Texas to play two shows at SXSW Music.
