Having listened to these songs about a million times, I thought it was about time I told you all about the White Star Bulb Company.

The man hiding behind the White Star Bulb Company is actually one of my oldest and dearest friends Richard Ecclestone, otherwise known as Ecki, who in his day job as a professional photographer has taken nearly all the shots for my album covers and other promo material, including the one you’re looking at now on my website.

But aside from being a brilliant rock’n’roll photographer – see https://richardecclestone.com/ – Ecki writes, sings and produces the most stunning songs.

Some of you might have been lucky enough to see him open for me at The Junction in Cambridge and a few other places years ago.  He point blank refuses to play live these days (he is incredibly stubborn) so he makes incredibly beautiful albums and puts them out into the digital stratosphere where, not having the funds for pluggers and publicists, they disappear.

As he’s produced so many brilliant albums, just to help you out I’m giving you my top 6 favourite songs (all on Spotify and everywhere else), which I listen to on repeat and are actually the only songs I’ve ever wanted to cover and hopefully will next year when I’m mentally well enough to catch a train to Bury St Edmunds…

‘Rare Sun’
‘Save You’
‘Radar’
‘Under the Dust’
‘Somewhere Beneath’
‘I Can’t Sing That Song Anymore’
