The greatest record producer/sound engineer I’ve ever known has passed. RIP Geoff Emerick. Thank you for achieving the dream. My little songs got to sound vast, magnificent and magical thanks to you. An amazing and humble wizard #GeoffEmerick #WhistleDownTheWind #NorthOfAMiracle.

Back in 1978 when I was coming up with Fantastic Day in my bedroom, I could only dream about @clem_burke playing drums on it. It actually happened last night and I’m still taking it all in. It sounded amazing! 🤩.

Please do excuse the name drop here. But I sat next to Paul McCartney on an aeroplane flying into Heathrow, the one he got arrested on. And he told me, he really liked this song and really liked the guitar on it.

We can’t go to the beach, but we can be the beach. Find a quiet spot, sit and close your eyes. Breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. When your mind wanders just continue breathing. In and out with the tide. Ten mins should do it. Enjoy 🏖 #virtualholiday.

From #TimsTwitterListeningParty earlier this year: "Please excuse the name drop here, but Paul McCartney told me he really liked this song and the guitar on it. “Was that you?” I said yes and that moment I could have died and gone to heaven"

This was such fun. I was supercharged but I’ve calmed down now. I’m a bit of a fan of these guys 🤩.
What is it about 80s pop stars? Can there really be 40 years between the Smash Hits cover and the @NickHeyward we just spoke to?

Some great writing and recording days this week. A song I’ve been playing on the piano for years but haven’t recorded in any shape or form yet, got shape and form yesterday. And it’s surprisingly.

I remember being in my bedroom back in 1975 and listening to On The Level by Status Quo (again). If you’d told me then that one day Francis Rossi would let me use his guitar rig to tune up backstage I would have…

Phil’s sax and Marc’s German spoken word are so good. They’re still really good friends, as Blair and I are, and Les and Graham are. Haircut 100 is three happy couples all eating ice cream in a Parisian cafe. #TimsTwitterListeningParty.
