About
Carl got out his guitar while we were on the [Mike Batt’s yacht in Montserrat], and I said, ‘Oh great, yeah, play that. Sing us your new song!’
So he starts. ‘On the isle of Montserrat /Though I never shall forget …” and then, silence. Carl blanks it. He’s forgotten the words. Having said ‘I never shall forget’, then he did! Forget the next line. Totally blanked it! We were rolling on the floor of the boat … Oh Carl! Of course, he recalled it all in due course, but that’s the moment I remember.

Every aspect of their professional careers as solo artists is explored, from recording sessions, record releases and tours, to television, film and music videos, including everything in between.
