| 25/07/11: New radio Interview |
Phoning in from the Bahamas, Mike was guest on Radcliffe & Maconie on BBC's 6 Music today. As well as talking about Incantations, key extracts were that he has done a remote recording session with drummer John Robinson via Skype and has been working on club remixes of old material. He said there "may be something next year, with the possibility of a live show, although it's very early days". We will share any updates here as soon as we get them. He also confirmed that preliminary work on the Telecaster album has not progressed, although the ideas are stored and may develop one day. Most importantly, he announced he is still working and producing whilst also spending plenty of time playing with the kids! |
