Click to hear Where Is The Love? on BBC Radio 2

I have to confess to being a little starstruck upon meeting Jeremy in a car park yesterday. I reguarly tune in and enjoy his mix of pop & pundits and his quick thinking intelligent delivery makes for a real good chewy listen (what I mean is the guests on the phone in often provoke a wide range of reactions and I find myself nodding in a greement or screaming and banging on the steering wheel in despair)  

So I was really pleased Jeremy played Where Is The Love? and would like to thank him for taking the bold step of playing an unsigned artist on daytime national radio. Co – written with Eric Barlow, the song features the wonderful sound of BJ Cole on pedal steel and Carina Round on vocals. Read more about the recording process here

This project was a real pleasure from beginning to end. The research part of it was fun as I had a valid reason to sit and watch hours of Ray Goslings wonderful films, and the filming day was great as Ray is a true gent and shared a lot of wisdom.

Next week I will be featured on a great website called Tunatheday

Bye for now

“Death is something that makes men weep, yet a third of life is passed in sleep.”

A Lord Byron quote used in Ray Gosling’s documentary about death and dying broadcast on BBC East Midlands Inside Out last night.

This 10 minute short film discusses different types of burial and assisted suicide and includes a very personal admission from Ray that made headline news this morning.

I appear in a scene filmed at Ray’s house, where he hears for the first time the song I was requested to write for his funeral.

Whilst certain to cause heated and varied reactions, I think Ray has made a poignant and valid input into this ongoing public debate on death.

All the best,
Dan
