I’m both surprised and honoured to be awarded the OBE in today’s King’s Birthday Honours: ‘Musician and Producer. This has a poignancy for me and my family because in 1966 my dad, Duncan Targett-Adams was also awarded the OBE but sadly he died before his investiture.’

It was a privilege to have met you and played alongside you on stage. Your bonhomie will stay in my thoughts forever. Condolences to Jan and the family. Your music lives on.

It's 1963 & for my 11th bday I received a £5 postal order from my parents in Caracas and put down a deposit on this beauty, a HofnerGalaxie . When the next months payment wasn’t forthcoming, Bells of Surbiton issued a solicitors letter potentially ending my rock n Roll career !
And now.. The guitar that I'm most associated with, my red

Early in 73 I saw an ad for it in the back of Melody Maker. It belonged to a 16 year old from Kalamazoo who opened the door, showed it to me and I said yes without even plugging it in!

To kick things off we go back to 1957! My mother bought it in Havana to learn guitar, and used it to teach me some chords and "acompañamiento" to latin songs... I still have it!

RIP Armando Manzanero. A beautiful writer and singer of boleros who soundtracked by teenage years and also featured on my album Boleros Hoy with Tania Libertad.
This Album had a great influence on me. I still have the 'rare as hens teeth', Probe, Us, import with the moving parts, signed by RobertWyatt. Eventually I worked also on Kevin Ayers last album.
‘The book is a great globe-trotting read, charting 50 years…in one of the most innovative bands of them all.’
‘….the early chapters, which you sometimes skim in memoirs, are just as engaging because Manzanera had a bracingly colourful childhood .’
New track alert ! Introducing ‘Newanna’ , the new single from my 'AM/PM' ft our dear friend and collaborator
@AnnaPhoebe
. Drums by the great Paul Thompson and production by Michael Boddy.
You can listen on Spotify here, as well as pre-order the album.
Great fun evening last night in PONTEFRACT at the The Cat Club. Big thanks to Rev, Jason and Lee and everyone who came to listen to me talk about the memoir and play a few tunes.👍👍
