We've never met, or even spoken, but I've been aware that film critic Mark Kermode was/is a fervent Yachts fan (well, there aren't that many about!) and he occasionally drops a kind word about my old band on his BBC 5 Live Show with Simon Mayo...anyway, we're revisiting an old Yachts song "Love You Love You" for the new album, so I thought it's worth a go to see if he fancies playing double bass on the track...a few Twitter messages later, he kindly hires a studio today, and job's done.
Bless you, sir! ... See MoreSee Less
