sat there gathering dust. It sat there for start playing it again. Now, I was rusty, but I was nowhere near as rusty as Martin was! He came around, we started jamming, and I told him about my idea for an acoustic album. I was going to do it by myself! But he said ‘I want to be involved!!’ What he’s doing is a little harder than what I was doing, because essentially I’m just done seperately! Nobody’s played together, which is how it’s done nowadays. The drums played seperately, Martin played seperately, I played seperately.
MM: That sounds incredible, because when band onstage together!
The Coral, who record everything them. But for us, neccessity was the mother of invention, and I just had to grab these people as and when I could! Our drummer Tony lives in Liverpool now, but at the time coming home for a Health and Safety Liverpool, in March 2009. So he had one day on the Health and Saftey Course, one his day off he came into the studio for us! he couldn’t believe it…10 songs!!…but we convinced him saying ‘We have all day,’ etc. Anyway, when he got round to it, we had 2-3 more songs for him! So he had to sit
there for hours, and bearing in mind he suffers from gout anyway, it wasn’t easy! But he loved being in the studio.
MM: It’s astounding really, and 13 songs…that’s an album!
GT: It’s more than an album! We had a few more songs initially recorded, which unfortunately had to be cut. We did a cover of Unintended by Muse, which is a beautiful song, but it had to go. Another which is about me and my car, and my guitar and that got to quite advanced stages. But you get to the point where you to be a geat album. So, we recorded 17 songs, and I had to get rid of 5. We were bit of a ‘Hello, Goodbye’ from me! But the been really positive. People are saying, ‘this is really good!’
MM: The new EP is called ‘Spacedust’. Great title! How did you come up with it?
GT: Well, what I’ve been cultivating in the last 2-3 years is an interest in space and the subject, and I’ve also been considering my own mortality to some extent.
MM: Well, what is it about the concept that appeals to you?
GT: Well, I’m not adhering to any religious
