October Rain is the title of my 4th jazz album and is also a new tune that I wrote. As you can see there are some great musicians on this recording which took place in Nashville and Ireland. Some of you might know Andy Reiss (Timejumpers), Marcus Finnie (Kurt Elling Band), Jimmy Sullivan, Andrew Carney and Rory Hoffman from Nashville. My Irish musician friends are all people I've played with over the years and at present. Eddie Lee (Sligo Jazz), Paul Moore (Van Morrison), Darren Beckett, Lee Meehan, Scott Flanigan, Linley Hamilton, Ciaran Wilde, Mal O'Brien, and Philip Begley (engineer)
Also John Goldsby from the WDR big band in Koln on bass.

Great lineup of players. Should be a killer Album. Thanks Richard.

My all-time favourite pop song is on your album!

'Alfie'.

I'll be intrigued to hear how you've approached it. I've played it on both necks but I lean towards E9 for this particular Bacharach gem.

What neck and what key, please, Richard?

Very best wishes for your album release!
