 I
started my career in 1976 playing guitar and singing backing vocals
with Hilary James and Simon Mayor in their group ‘Spredthick’,
an eclectic explosion of folk and blues, which reflected my own influences
of English singer/songwriters and ragtime blues guitarists. Now,
exactly 30 years later, I am releasing my first solo album. It features
13 songs, all recorded as live takes, embellished with additional
guitar and vocal tracks. Benefiting from the new digital recording
techniques, this album has evolved over 5 years, recording in nice
places, at my own pace. Interpretations of Maxime Le Forestier (one
of France’s most famous singer-songwriters), Richard Thompson
and Ralph McTell I think compliment my original songs perfectly;
the power of commerce, requited and unrequited love, the destruction
of the English language, the lot of the pub musician and the atmosphere
of a small town bar are all covered, whilst Jagger’s Rag showcases
the ragtime fingerpicking guitar style, which features more and more
in my live show. In the 30 years since Spredthick, I have acquired
a lot of experience in many musical fields, touring, recording, in
theatre and in broadcasting. Several years were spent on the blues
scene, working with or opening up for many great artists including
John Mayall, John Hammond, Steve Marriot, John Sebastian, Rock Bottom,
Bert Jansch, John Renborne, Kent DuChaine, and often in partnership
with the fabulous harmonica player Alan Richardson. During the 1990’s
I toured a lot in the UK and in Europe with the Jaggernauts, my ill-disciplined
and argumentative cohorts, who, much to their amusement, were once
referred to as ‘my staff’. Like my two previous CDs,
The Rough Edge (1995) and Easy Listening (1998), both made with the
Jaggernauts, this eponymous album is released on Reinhard Finke’s
excellent Valve Records label, based in Solingen, Germany. The telesales
team there have had all leave suspended in anticipation of the rush
to acquire copies. As well, I recorded an acoustic blues album, ‘Step
it up and go’, in 1992 with Alan Richardson, in my kitchen
in Charlton. I’ve always had a liking for Martin guitars and
play live with a splendid, newish, D-18V, which has rather quirky
intonation, which gives it a great character. For recording it’s
either that or a 1965 D-18.
