about

"Improvising songwriting can be a terrifying experience. Armed with nothing except a guitar, voice, your wits, in a studio ticking the money away, it is to my mind the purest form of writing songs. You are forced to be your pure self musically.

A critic in Timeout magazine recently remarked about how the recordings of the songs could sound home-made, complete with mistakes etc.

He's right.

It's kind of like life. You take risks, make mistakes and just push on. But when you get it right, it's a phenomenal experience you can't achieve being fully prepared.

It's a gamble. In that sense, I'm a creative gambler.

If I'm not going to push myself to be creative, no-one will.

Listening back to this album, I must say I'm mighty pleased with it.

I will just leave it at that, and hand it over to you."
