My Unfashionable Opinion (CD)

2017 release, the fifth album from the former Fairground Attraction guitarist/songwriter. Co-produced with his former Fairground Attraction bandmate Simon Edwards and engineered and mixed by the mighty Phill Brown (Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, Talk Talk), it features 12 brand new Mark Nevin songs. Basic tracks were recorded live to 16 track analogue tape over four days at north London's Livingston Studios and taken to The Red Room in Bermondsey to be mixed. Most of the songs stick to the core band of Roger Beaujolais on vibraphone and marimba, Simon Edwards on bass and Richard Marcangelo on drums - with the addition of the inspired Hammond organ of James Hallawell. The great Kick Horns bring their brass magic to a couple before Colette O'Leary and Louise Nevin add a little accordion and fiddle to the final song.
