From Chris Whitten (@chriswhittenmusic) • Instagram photos and videos:
Exactly 35 years ago (16th Oct 1987), I awoke early after a night in a small coastal hotel in Devon. I switched on the tv and was shocked to see a newsreader in a cupboard, with a single camera and one light, reading the news from written notes. There had been a massive storm overnight. In the West we hadn’t been so badly impacted, but SE England had been devastated, with building collapses, thousands of trees uprooted and widespread power cuts.
I was in Devon to shoot a Paul McCartney video. I went down to breakfast to see if our filming was going ahead. Despite bad weather in our area, we did shoot the video for ‘Once Upon A Long Ago’ that day.It was the real start of a great adventure for me. I had done a couple of Friday afternoon ‘jam’ sessions with Paul early that summer, which were effectively auditions. I had spent a day at Paul’s studio recording some ‘rock n roll’ from the jam sessions (Coba B CCCP).
I was amazed to find myself in the video band with well known jazz musician Stan Sulzman and classical prodigy Nigel Kennedy
