InfluencesLet us return to the now empty warehouses of Tin Pan Alley and seek the spirit of Fats Waller and George Gershwin…Let the quill quiver and dowse streams of humour from the ghosts of Noel Coward and Cole Porter. Let us gently drown in the English Poetic Tradition – Let Death be your Entertainer (Oh Sting, where is thy death?). Then let us Hail the Superhuman to give form to the trilling signal…

Are you the sort of person who is struck by the poignancy of two elderly friends not long for this world talking to each other on a park bench? Have you often wondered what became of that fleeting moment at the fairground when as a child “for a brief moment only you were truly happy”? Do you remember the smell of fish and chips as you walked back from the city with your First Date? Did you ever stop your car by the roadside in the middle of your hectic working day and walk off to the little copse on the horizon? Did you then look up at the sky and wonder? Do you feel violated by the silliness of modern life and think about “the door we never opened into the rose garden”? Do you despise insincerity and the remorseless invasion of broken, repetitive imagery and sound into your Sovereign Existence? Would you rather be on the dry, forgiving moon? You, then, are a child of Byzantium.
