I met Paul Tasker while filming Davie Lawson on tour in The Netherlands in September 2008. Tasker joined Lawson on the second day to play guitar on the rest of his gigs. I was blown away by his guitar skills and his kebab-loving personality. So when he and Iona MacDonald came to stay with me this February, we recorded this session.
A couple of months ago, I recorded a session with Dutch singer songwriter Lea Kliphuis at 'In De Blaauwe Hand', the oldest bar of Nijmegen. Not long later, she phoned with the news her album was delayed and Excelsior Recordings was about to sign her. Her album will be re-recorded this summer. First an OnderInvloed.com session of course.
Last Tuesday, I filmed an interview with The Undertones by mister Gijsbert Kamer at the Fine Fine Music night in Paradiso, Amsterdam. Thanks to Frank and Paul at Fine Fine Music, the band agreed to record a session the very next day, after their soundcheck at Tivoli de Helling, Utrecht. They played The Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground and Ray Davies.
