My friend the engineer and producer Mike Exeter called me up as he was working with Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath on a choral piece which they felt needed some strings. I rocked up at Woodworm Studios with my cello and tried a few ideas, then retired to Bank Cottage to record those and a few others, and track up multiple parts. On release in 2017 my name was mentioned in most of the national papers including twice in this piece in The Mirror, Guitarist and Rolling Stone magazines and even on the Radio 4 news!
