There is no band as such,but for me the perks of being a studio engineer is getting to meet great players and chain-ganging them onto your own album!!The musicians on "christopher" include:DRUMS-Luce Langridge/Tim Denman/Vince Clarke and Simon Jeffrey:BASS-Hugh Hopper/Tom Langridge/Jim Leverton and myself:STRINGS:Geoffrey Richardson:KEYS:Frances Knight and myself:BACKINGVOCALS:RachelCuming:
GUITARS-Derek Heffernan and myself:Derek also played a major part in the completion of the record for which I am eternally grateful.
In a Dubious Manner is a collaboration between Hugh Hopper and myself and is made up
mainly around loops and samples but again with a healthy measure of engineers perks including:DRUMS :Liam Genockey/Andy Ward:GUITAR:Rob Harvey/Trevor Stevenson:
BRASS:Pierre-Olivier Govin/Robert Jarvis/Peter Cook/Tony Rico:Additional Vocals:Jan Ponsford:Harmonica:Al Clarke:UPRIGHT BASS:Alex Keen
Influences
Nick Cave,Captain Beefheart,Beck,Tom Waits,Elvis Costello,Sex Pistols,life in general...

Love the tracks, especially "Lost At Sea" and can hear a Nick Cave influence here. If you click the "videos" link on my profile and watch the montage video of the covers band I play keys with (Marylebone Jelly), I do believe you'll recognise some of the decor ;o)
Hi, Julian! I get to be the first comment-poster - how cool is that?!
Just wanted to say your album really is a great piece of work - there are some beautiful and powerful songs on there. Congratulations!
