I spent so long looking for a band that felt that were not only a musical family, but a personal road family. In the last six months I have found this group of people that I’m happy to spend all my waking and sleeping hours with. They are so genius, all for their own talents and virtues. On the left, the wonderful Marcello Vig, the drummer and percussionist for my band, hailing from Brazil, I met him totally through an accident of personalities. Second from left the one and only Nick Haward, our double bassist. He has been with me for the whole Magic Position touring period. Despite his youth, this man is our road father. I feel like I can ask him any question, for instance this morning I asked him if flies could hear and he gave me the perfect answer.
Victoria Sutherland, my lovely dearest gorgeous superstar friend. She is the most talented violinist I have ever heard in my life. When I was 15 and playing in the same orchestra as her, when she played the solos I was moved to silence and tears, she is the Edith Piaf of the string world. My respect and love for this musician and friend is unlimited. I would give my kidneys and liver to keep this lady playing the violin. You must hear her in concert, in symphony at least once in your life. Then on the far right we have Mr Johnathan Krisp, my electronic maestro, he deals with all my nightmare electronics from my random eight year old laptops. Not only does he do this but he has added a wealth of field recordings in the last year, we now have foxes, crows, magpies, storms and seagulls live onstage, all coming from John’s genius technological world
