Delighted to hear that Treason has been perfoming very strongly on Netflix - we were number 1 on seven countries and top 10 in eighty eight countries! Very proud to be involved with a fantastic team on this show.
Working with Graham is such a thrill - he's a genuine authentic songwriting legend, and there's not many of them about. So many hits and great collaborations, including the Yardbirds, the Hollies, Herman's Hermits as well as 10cc of course. The week before our session he'd written a song with Brian May about the James Webb Space Telescope! We got "the team back together" at Hoxa HQ again - myself on piano/MD, Chris Hill on bass and Ralph Salmins on drums and recorded a couple of Graham's great new songs. Always a joy to work with Graham and I hope we get to do it again soon.
Here's a photo of Nick Harvey and I posing for the cover of our new Boy Band album! Sadly, that's not exactly true, but we did spend two absolutely glorious days at Abbey Road recording 23 of the worlds finest (and socially-distanced) string and woodwind players for a minimalist album for EMI production music. It sounded as incredible as you'd expect, given the heritage of the room itself (Studio 2 - some obscure band called "The Beatles" recorded there a fair bit apparently), the great engineers and the calibre of London's finest session musicians bringing Nick's and my music to life. Simply, an absolute joy.
