As a post script to this, I've played Harry Tate's Navy in John Conolly's presence and he's talking about learning it himself. . .

If I were him, I'd carry on being as creative as he is, and leave us less-gifted carry on promoting his partner's work.

I'd love to hear JC singing it though.

Furthermore, when I was speaking to Bill Meek on the phone, he was discussing his favourite singer was Martyn Wyndham-Read. I was privileged enough to do a week in France with MW-R and Iris and was able to tell him. When I fed that back to Bill, he was delighted.

What a small world we live in at times.
