His long-time manager Graham Wrench and bassist Colin Elliot “thought it would be a really good idea to do it”, says the Sheffield-born singer-songwriter, to coincide with several personal milestones. “It’s basically 25 years since I’ve been a solo artist – a quarter of a century; it’s 25 years since I got married; 25 years since I gave up the drugs, and it just seemed like a good time to put a collection together,” the 56-year-old explains.
“That was a hard record to make because that was when Dad was dying, he passed away halfway through making that and it wasn’t an easy record to make, but I tried to be as positive as I could be. Also, when I said to Dad, ‘Look, I’m just going to pack it in; I’ll sit with you and help you out’ and he said, ‘If you stop, I will haunt you forever’. I didn’t really have a lot of choice,” he laughs.
