about

Interesting how this one came about. A while back I was asked to contribute to an XTC tribute album. I had hoped to have a stab at the XTC classic 'Stupidly Happy' (another big favourite of mine!) but it had already been taken. Instead it was suggested I try my hand at arranging and finishing off an unreleased Andy Partridge demo from the early '80s. This kind of challenge was right up my musical alley and I set to work on it with a vengeance. Enlisting the talented Robyn Gibson of The Junipers on drums and XII string duties, it all came together really quickly. Ironically it didn't actually make the XTC comp it was submitted for but, of all the songs I have attempted to cover to date, this one's up there as one of my faves.
