I’ve been meaning to work with the really rather wonderful Eskimos Fall every since I started this crazy Bandwidth thing about 17 months ago.

It was a song called ‘Please’ which I’d hear reviewed on the radio – the most stirring and beautiful thing I’d heard for ages. “You would hear this on the OC,” some-reviewer-or-other said. Luckily for us, they were spared that lucrative embarrassment long enough to not retire just yet and keep writing tunes.

I requested ‘Please’ – lead eskimo Peter McVeigh politely declined – because they have a newer even better song. And its true.

I suggested an ice cream parlour, a giant kitchen freezer (the health & safety executive? who?) and the frozen pizza isle at Iceland. I was shouted down.

Late one Sunday night, walking home, the streets totally silent – I discovered the quietest, most unearthly traffic island ever manufactured. It all made sense.
