a band with his brother and they were signed to CBS, which is now Sony. They had
    some chart success. But I think you had to maintain a certain level in the chart.


    NS:  I just did a lot of work in studios in London. That was Ian Anderson’s studio from
    Jethro Tull, Maison Rouge. The Farm Studio was The Buggles fella? Trevor Horne.

    There was a lot of things that I did do, and I've been to a lot of places and I'm fairly
    humble about it all. Karen is very good at bragging. She often says to me, you forgot
    to mention this. You forgot to mention that. I’ve done a lot of work, and I've helped
    people like Larry Miller and things like that.


    BiTS:  Neil, I wish you continued success. I think the music that you’re playing is
    absolutely fabulous. There's some tracks on the album “Past To Present” that I think
    are sensational. As you probably know, I've played a couple of them on my radio show

    and intend to keep on doing it and I’m intrigued by the upcoming Robert Johnson
    thing [chuckles].

    NS:  Good. What's your favourite one, Ian? What's your favourite track, by the way?


    BiTS:  Oh, I couldn't tell you that. I've not got a favourite at all, to be honest with you.

    NS:  Okay, the important track for me is ‘I Ain't Gonna Cross No River’. You know, you

    can't do this on your own. It doesn't matter what anybody says, and without Karen's
    help, this album wouldn't have even happened. So you know, she was there helping
    me.


    BiTS:  Well, she’s very clearly what I would call a fiery supporter of you.

    NS:  An absolutely fiery supporter, yeah. And if I don't get my arse in gear, I’ll get a
    fiery kick up my arse as well, so.


    BiTS:  I won't take any more of your time, but let's call it a day.

    NS:  Thank you so much.

    BiTS:  Thanks very much to both of you. Bye.


    KJ:  Yes, thank you so much. Ian, it's so kind of you. Thank you so much.

    BiTS:  Bye.

    Both:  Bye.
