| Way back in the mists of time, when dinosaurs like Go West ruled the earth, and the Linn Drum was King, Martin Colyer and I recruited a 17-year-old Heather Small to form an old-fashioned soul combo, Hot House. We fluked our way into publishing and recording contracts, and made a couple of albums which... did no business whatsoever. Ah well, it was fun at the time. Heather went on to fame and, we hope, fortune as part of Handbag-House equipe M-People.
Anyway, here you can find a few examples of our, er, oeuvre. |
"Dylan? Rap? A more tuneful Lou Reed? I really dug it" – Peter Guralnick The Backhouse Boys (In The Basement) is an ongoing experiment in lo-fidom. Colyer and I spend as little time as possible mangling treasures from Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes, interspersed with liquid lunches and bouts of daytime TV. Liner notes by Tiny Montgomery! |
Here you can find some examples of the TV themes I have written and recorded, primarily for movie-related programmes on BBC 2.
Also here are some short stings I created for News Multimedia – yes, I've taken the Murdoch shilling. NM was meant to be making CD Roms back when they were going to be the Next Big Thing. Rupert, being a clever bugger, saw which way the wind was blowing and pulled the plugs before too much damage was done to his balance sheet. |
After Hot House imploded, I got together with Pete 'Eighteen With A Bullet' Wingfield to do some songwriting. Somehow he tolerated my smelly 14th-floor council flat long enough to produce some of the tunes here. And we had lots of fun.
Also here are some tunes Martin Colyer and I did with the very splendid Michelle Jones, East London's answer to Chaka Khan. Funk-Rock Y'all! |
