“You might recognise the guitarist too – although he’s adding an unusually vintage sound to this track !”Sir Brian added: “I was probably channelling Duane Eddy – a hero of mine and latterly a friend – now sadly gone to the next place. Talia writes new songs at an amazing rate – always different – like we might put on a new suit of clothes – and this song is the last of an era. This is a lot of fun – and very very catchy – but the next one may shock you. In a good way ! Meanwhile — watch out for the video clip for this – it’s very amusing !!! And please preorder the track right now ! Talia has mouths to feed !!!”
