Sometimes we need songs. You know, proper songs. Songs that stick in the mind and have a middle eight. Songs that could be performed by one fella and a beat-up guitar but have been recorded with Hammond organs, three-part harmonies and fuzzy valve amps. Drew makes exactly that kind of song. His album, named after a beauty spot in his beloved home, The Isle Of Wight, was recorded with the help of his old schoolmate Paul Butler, of fellow islanders The Bees. And, like them, Drew’s music possesses the timeless vintage charm that offers a rose-tinted glow to life. Sometimes we all need those kind of songs.
