MANY THANKS TO:
All the musicians for their enthusiasm and jokes
Soundscape and Protools (mac) for their advice and generosity.
My colleagues in 'BIG COUNTRY' for their encouragement in developing my song writing and for what sets the band apart from the rest.
PG Tips 'Pyramid' tea bags for that noticeable extra flavour.
The Wharncliff Arms Hotel, Tintagel
Ian Grant for being my manager a»d friend.
Ken Williams, my music teacher and friend.
Lynda Fletcher for being a brilliant person.
Fluff - his memory lives on.
Jackie Cooksey for putting up with me.
All of my family to whom I have been a real pain,
All of those I know I should mention but I've run out of roo
I've had the pleasure of working for and with some of the finest musicians and songwriters this country has ever produced. Therefore, it has always been my ambition to invite those artistes, if available, to take part in one of my projects. Unfortunately the circumstances in which I found myself recording this album did not make this possible. As much as I would have enjoyed their contributions, I found myself in a position to express myself fully. So, as an acknowledgement of their influence, I took the liberty of incorporating some of their musical and lyrical trademarks in this work. "Nuff respec". This is not really a solo album - it's me being every band I've ever been into, all rolled into one CD. It's only rock'n toll and I love it, even at 40!
