The greatest record producer/sound engineer Iโve ever known has passed. RIP Geoff Emerick. Thank you for achieving the dream. My little songs got to sound vast, magnificent and magical thanks to you. An amazing and humble wizard

There Is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths
โThere was a holiday where Paul and I were driving through Wales and we saw this rainbow, and we drove through the whole of the rainbow to that song. So it always gets me going.โ

Back in 1978 when I was coming up with Fantastic Day in my bedroom, I could only dream about

playing drums on it. It actually happened last night and Iโm still taking it all in. It sounded amazing! ๐คฉ
Happy Birthday David Bowie. Born 8th January 1947. Here he is in 1974 performing Young Americans live on that classic Dick Cavett Show appearance. What a band!

I remember Elvis Costello saying he heard a recording of us playing this live at Hammersmith Odeon and was genuinely impressed. So proud of that. We really were a fantastic live band!

Please do excuse the name drop here. But I sat next to Paul McCartney on an aeroplane flying into Heathrow, the one he got arrested on. And he told me, he really liked this song and really liked the guitar on it.
We canโt go to the beach, but we can be the beach. Find a quiet spot, sit and close your eyes. Breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. When your mind wanders just continue breathing. In and out with the tide. Ten mins should do it. Enjoy ๐

earlier this year: "Please excuse the name drop here, but Paul McCartney told me he really liked this song and the guitar on it. โWas that you?โ I said yes and that moment I could have died and gone to heaven"
Great marimba intro on Love Plus One. It was played by the producer Bob Sargent, who loved to play on the records he produced, like The Beat.

Some great writing and recording days this week. A song Iโve been playing on the piano for years but havenโt recorded in any shape or form yet, got shape and form yesterday. And itโs surprisingly...
Today's Woodland Echoes' 3rd anniversary and to celebrate we've re-opened the webshop at and uploaded two new lyric videos. Here's the first - Beautiful Morning
I remember being in my bedroom back in 1975 and listening to On The Level by Status Quo (again). If youโd told me then that one day Francis Rossi would let me use his guitar rig to tune up backstage I would haveโฆ
Hard to believe Woodland Echoes was released nearly three years ago already. I'm incredibly proud if it and will be sharing lyrics videos for each of the songs. Here's the opener, Love is the Key by the Sea.

It used to give me goosebumps to play this song live. Youโre making magic as a band and itโs overwhelming and really something. Fantastic in the true sense of the word.

Looks like we might be here for the foreseeable future, so to take my mind off whatโs going on, I've dug up the lawn so we can try growing our own fruit and veg. I must say, Iโm really enjoying it and I slept like a logarithm last night ๐ฑ
