Blog: Mull Of Kintyre

< previous

HARK! What is that distant rustling sound? Why, 'tis the sound of ROCK HISTORIANS getting out their diaries to mark this special day, for LO! today is the day that the first fruits of the MJ Hibbett & CJ Thorpe-Tracey collaboration are unleashed upon a waiting world!

The fruit in question is our version of Mull Of Kintyre, which you can download for FREE from today over on the ever-wonderful Joyzine Advent Calendar. Both Chris and I have had tracks on this MANY times over the years, so when we were in the studio a few weeks ago it seemed only right that we should have a crack at something Christmassy, and then to see if Paul Joyzine would like to have it. He would, and he has!

I've been playing Mull Of Kintyre in various ways in various bands for DECADES, mostly for two reasons - firstly because I really really liked it, and secondly because it's really really easy to play. These two reasons made it a perfect choice to have a bash at in the studio, and I think it's come out rather nicely. I'm a bit ALARMED to hear my voice so loudly and without any JOKES at the start, but then when Chris comes in on vocals in the chorus... ooh, it sounds RIGHT CHRISTMASSY if you ask me.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this festive item, and if you do please be assured that there will be a LOT more to come next year!
