âAqua Blue? Itâs about my love for open spaces, the beauty of natures endless vistasâ, drifting away into the distance. Itâs a sound byte of that feeling we get as our eyes wander across a horizon.â

âThis is quite a different album for me. I think in this one itâs not so much me telling the story but the stories telling themselves. Iâm just along for the ride. Itâs definitely more a mix of all the music that has influenced me. I listen back to it and hear the influences of Trevor Horn from The Art of Noise, right up there with say AstonâFamily ManâBarrett and Pat Metheny, all in one song. To me it doesnât sound forced. It sounds just as if it was always meant to be.â
