If there's someone who's to blame for my worst and to thank for my finest, this is he - Mark Tolle. We go back to my first 'on stage with guitar' when I jumped up to play a Housemartins song with a cabaret trio in my home village of Tintwistle. A rather bored looking, straight faced bald bass player gave me the 'get on with it, I want my Chicken Madras' look. This was Saturday night at Tintwistle Working Mens Club, which later became the recording studio where Tolle produced recordings for The Stone Roses' 2nd Coming album. I would also one day join his other band 'The Others Made Me Do It' as a keyboard player, I could strum a couple of guitar chords and do the one finger thing on a keyboard, using a new thing called 'midi sequencing'. We were a bit bobbins really ...

It was in Tolle's studio at the aforementioned club that I recorded my first casette of songs 'Dancing With Two Left Feet'. A fab experience that set me on the way, and some people still have copies of this collection of songs ...

Then in 2003 set to record a live gig back in Glossop, I contacted Tolle and Paul Higham. They recorded to multi-track and filmed the show, then worked wonders back in the studio. This work was the reason why we now have 'Global', probably one of my finest moments ...
