THE BAND THAT NOBODY KNEW

From where wild strawberries grew. It’s about us and every band. “That was our time in the shade / No one but the driver got paid.” I had a dysfunctional relationship with touring. I saw it more as an extension of my social life. Or just a more out and about version of my life. I never saw it as work and as many will attest I didn’t really see myself as an entertainer. I would only want to sing the songs that I was enthusiastic about which were mainly the new ones. We tried to do one of those band plays album all the way through things at the Port Eliot Festival a few years ago. We chose the first eponymous one. But I had to bail on the concept as the person I was then began to depress me and the idea just felt so constricting. I can’t imagine how bands tour their old songs night after night. Well I can, it’s a job and nicer job than most. I of course have concentrated on the loss making part of the business; writing and recording new songs.

The last verse describes how it was for me on the road; “I loved how it felt / Between towns / And all the ups and the downs / The acrobats dropped by the clowns.” It wasn’t even being out there on stage, it was just being out there, thinking about the next deal and the next album. This is our next deal and this is our next album. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.
