With thanks to...all the great musicians who gave their time. Boon Gould for lyrics on 'Clocks Go Forward' and 'Picture On The Wall'. All the staff at Chipping Norton, Marcus and Red Bus Studios and with special thanks to...Jerry Boys my co-producer for his valued contribution and 'trust', Nick James our tape op and organiser for his 'sort of style', Alan Sizer at Polydor Records for his faith and support (which I'm still wearing), John and Sarah Gould (Absolute Music), my management company, my wife Pia and daughter Florrie for their love.

This album contains some of the ideas I've had since I started playing. It was recorded and mixed with as much of a 'one take' feel as possible. For the opportunity of making these recordings I am grateful.
