30 Songs in 30 Days – Day Ten – Bar Trip
Bar Trip, in which I treat you to the cascading vineyard at the back of the house. The house backs onto the railway that runs between Victoria and East Croydon, so every three or four minutes I had to stop recording because the passing trains drowned me out. (What’s that you say? Three cheers for the trains? Why, I’ve never been so insulted …) Still, it’s nice to get a bit of fresh air into the recording.
There’s a fully-instrumented Bar Trip floating around my hard drive that’s part of an album that will be called Winner of the Fight. These were recordings I made with the great Michael Mann in the Ever Popular High Recording Facilities in Streatham, (Mike’s flat). It’s been over 2 years in the making, but hopefully it will see the light of day sometime soon. In the meantime, well, you have this acoustic version to treasure.
