Over the next couple of years we kept in touch and in 1992 caught up briefly while I was in the UK for a week promoting another song in the charts. Then in 1993 I moved to London. And so our musical journey together really took shape.

Believe it or not, over the years Mark had built a small studio in his small flat and I made an investment in it, purchasing, what was at the time, a fairly flash recording console. And so throughout the second half of 1993 we started recording material that I’d been writing since arriving in London. I was performing on the West End stage during ’93 and ‘94 so our sessions were fairly spread out. By ’95 we had a bunch of stuff recorded and we concentrated on mixing what we thought were possibly the most accessible songs. Of course us being us, we completely ignored the musical trends and fashions of the time figuring we’d get by on good ol’ hummable tunes! We were ultimately really pleased with our little home made project…. now what?
