BABY I'M A FOOL

​

Our combined love of standards was the original idea for the project. When we sat down to write a list of tunes that we wanted to record, we took inspiration from a wider musical world, adding some very personal choices, including "Baby I'm a Fool' and I'II Be Here With You songs we shared and recorded together during the Covid lockdown in 2021. We also penned a tribute to Alison's late father, Gordon Henry Jiear, celebrating some of his funny sayings.

Not only was he a real-life O07. but he also played the cornet. After a nice warm bath, a pull-through and a service (the cornet that isl, Adam recorded Needle Noddle Noo* on Gordon's 1940's Besson cornet. The final words on the album are those of GHJ.
