The greatest record producer/sound engineer I’ve 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 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.”

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 I’m still taking it all in. It sounded amazing! 🤩
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.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Fantastic Day HD premiere on YouTube last night.

We can’t 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 🏖

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.

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
Some great writing and recording days this week. A song I’ve been playing on the piano for years but haven’t recorded in any shape or form yet, got shape and form yesterday. And it’s surprisingly...
I remember being in my bedroom back in 1975 and listening to On The Level by Status Quo (again). If you’d told me then that one day Francis Rossi would let me use his guitar rig to tune up backstage I would have…
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.
I’m excited to be celebrating

Goooooo! Hands in the air everybody! The end of depression. Hallelujah! Thank you thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that’s North of a Miracle.

It used to give me goosebumps to play this song live. You’re making magic as a band and it’s overwhelming and really something. Fantastic in the true sense of the word.

Phil’s sax and Marc’s German spoken word are so good. They’re still really good friends, as Blair and I are, and Les and Graham are. Haircut 100 is three happy couples all eating ice cream in a Parisian cafe.
