Gracenotes by Stevenson and Samuel (Steve Stockman and Sam Hill Jr)
RELEASED 2001
I had been writing songs with Steve for a few years and was a big fan of his poems, particularly when he performed them live. We did a few shows together in Ireland and it seemed to work, it was only a matter of time till we worked on a recorded project together. Phil Baggaley and Neil Costello made it happen on their newly formed 'Gold Records' label . They brought in two top class musicians, Dave Clifton and Mark Edwards and for us the result was wonderful.
