Wishbone Ash - Vas Dis/Jailbait (BBC 1971)

            Wishbone Ash are a British rock band who achieved success in the early to mid-1970s

         "Vas Dis" was an old Jack McDuff jazz piece that Wishbone Ash had been performing live for some time as an exercise in turning a jazz number into a rock tune. The band rehearsed it in the studio, not realising that producer Derek Lawrence was recording, and it was this rehearsal take that appeared on the album.                                                               

             The live favourite "Jailbait" was composed "in about ten minutes" at a pub in Exeter, and came about as a joint band effort through jamming together. As the vocalist on this song, Ted Turner wrote a few lines of a lyric, which he completed with the help of drummer Steve Upton in about half an hour                                                              

           Pilgrimage is the second studio album by British rock band Wishbone Ash, released 1971.

Glen Hansard & Jack Johnson - I Shall Be Released/Gloria

  This creation of this film was totaly spontaneous. I was in Italy with Glen Hansard to direct two music video promo's for his new album. While we were there Glen had a gig in Ferrara, and I accompanied him shootingt B-Roll to include in the video for his song 'No Mountain'. There was some time to spare before his performance and we wandered in to a backstage area only to be met by the legend Jack Johnson and his band, who were sitting there with their instruments, warming up. Glen was then invited to jam a song with them, and I happened to have my camera with me. 

None of it was planned. The audio is from my camera, and I asked a friend Andrea Scarso to help me capture the concert audio on their phone. I asked Glen's good friend Seán to film a wide from on-stage with my phone. Both results were surprisingly great! If you had asked me before this event, did think it possible to shoot a live concert performance with only one camera, a phone and no audio from the desk, I would have laughed at the idea and yet here's the evidence that such spontaneous efforts can be rewarded!

                         Astral Weeks (album Astral Weeks )

Morrison described the song "Astral Weeks" as being: "like transforming energy, or going from one source to another with it being born again like a rebirth. I remember reading about you having to die to be born. It's one of those songs where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and that's basically what the song says." Morrison told Steve Turner that he was working on the song back in Belfast in 1966 when he visited painter Cecil McCartney who had drawings on astral projection "and that's why I called it "Astral Weeks"
