If you want to blame anyone for this CD then you could point the finger at Dorothy Cooper.
I happened to be reading a copy of ‘The Singer’ magazine and noticed a jazz vocalist competition in the back pages and not really taking note of all the text (especially the Jazz Diva bit), duly sent them a copy of a couple of jazz standards l recorded earlier in the year. A few weeks later l received a call saying that my entry had been accepted for THE MARION MONTGOMERY AWARDS 2002 and I was invited to sing at the Ventnor Jazz Divas Festival Isle of Wight, with the house trio. Thanks to Steve Rose who helped me put together a pad for the competition. Only when l arrived at Ventnor, was it apparent that l was the only male singer. I was the ‘token bloke’ in an all female Diva competition! Apart from the usual nerves and getting my finger caught in my mic stand in between songs, l won a special award at the festival, but far more important than that for me, was meeting some lovely people.
A heartfelt thank you to Dorothy Cooper and Laurie Holloway, who gave me the lift l needed to take things further and l hope you accept 10% of all profits from sales of this CD, for the Montgomery Holloway music trust.

Thanks to Jeff Clyne, Trevor Tomkins, Nick Weldon and Laurie Holloway, who accompanied me at the competition. Thanks for your continued support.
Thanks to John Clack for taking excellent photos at Ventnor.

Dorothy introduced me to Malcolm Edmonstone, who has become a good friend and colleague and also fundamental in the recording of this CD. The trio were great fun to work with and are truly talented, each in their own right. I had never met Julian and Ben before we flew up to Inverness to record at The Byre Studios and what a swell time we all had. This CD was recorded live over a four day period.
