#HPJukebox A song I co-wrote with Mark Owen & Guy Batson from Mark's 'lost' album "Spirits Rise".
Richard Norris & I produced the album in 2000, Mark won "Celebrity Big Brother", signed a new deal and sadly most of the album was shelved (not "pop" enough?).
I'm pleased this track actually made it onto a Japanese release years later.
PS We actually did randomly pick chords out of a hat to come up with the song (and only cheated once!).

I'd forgotten that "Forbidden", a song that birthday boy Pete Riley & I wrote with Tia McGraff & Tommy Parham, made it onto Tia's last album.
Catch it 10mins in on this podcast, and hear T & T speak about how we came to write & record it...cracking twang guitar solo from Pete.
Happy birthday Pete! :-) x
