As the playwright said to the rock violinist...
Tom Stoppard likes his rock’n’roll old-fashioned. Linzi, his bow-wielding daughter—in-law, didn’t even know who he was. How do they feel about each other now?
Here Chris part:
"One day it turned out he had a girlfriend who was a violinist. When I first heard Linzi perform, at a charity event, I had no idea what was coming. My idea of the violin in popular music was something like Stéphane Grappelli, or the string sections used to thicken the soup on a ballad. I’d never come across a rock violinist. I was thrilled. There was this girl in a beautiful gown with a violin-shaped thing, producing this incredibly loud sound. What I find different about Fuse — the duo Linzi formed with her fellow violinist Ben Lee, managed by Will — is that their music is a living thing. They sculpt influences and songs, melding them into something of their own. Yes, they are covers, but they’re not covers in the 1960s sense. Fuse do a version of Fix You, the Coldplay song. After Will told me Linzi was keen for Chris Martin to hear Fuse’s take on his work, I offered to employ a few connections. I had met Chris’s wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, through working on Shakespeare in Love, so I arranged for Chris to get the album. Nothing has come of it so far, but we live in hope".
