Thank you Ferdy, Lucy at ITB, Joy, Andrew, Alex, Harry and the rest of the team. Adam and Helen for keeping it simple. Anna and Eastcote Studios for a home from home. Tom Fiddle, Marcus, Winston, Jesse, KC, and everyone who contributed to the record. Also, Noah And The Whale, 4 of the most perfectly kind people I have ever had the good fortune of meeting. Aimy and Gee, whom I love very much. Charlie and Judi without whom, for sure, none of this would have been possible. Phoebe, a beautiful constant in ever changing surroundings. And Charlie, who's mind and talent ring out through this album, bringing all my greatest hopes to fruition and letting nothing go unquestioned; it is to him I owe my biggest thank you. Max, David, Rosemary, Lewis, Will, Charles, Hannah, Diane, Emma and Eddie who have all played a large part in this in ways they might never know.
Here's to fearless enjoyment....
