An unusual song, originally written in early 1988 and thrown in the bin, then my manager range me a few days later asking if I had any spare songs for a 12" EP, so luckily I fished it out, I went into Cluny or Lynx studios with Dave Lewis (Kane Gang and Prefab producer of Swoon) and also with Neil Conte Prefab's drummer who was up in town at the time, we did a crazy ambient recording of it with just ambient drums and slap acoustic guitar and off it went to the record company, the boss at London Records 'Roger Ames' went nuts when he heard it and sent me over to LA to work with Russ Kunkel, Lenny Castro, Hugh Macracken and some other session heads who Russ knew, he produced and played drums and we recorded this version in Cherokee Studios, LA
Crazy times xx

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce

What a tribute, I haven’t the words to say how this group have been the soundtrack to my life, through good and bad.
