About

So: between 1994 and 1998, Pastel Collision (aka Kaleida) made four singles and an album and played 13 gigs. Our aim was always to be the one great new obscure song on the end of a compilation tape prepared for you by a would-be suitor. It really was.

I’m now, rather belatedly, putting together a new pop project, writing a concept album – ‘Eurostar, the Musical’ – for the French singer Anne Brugiere. We’re taking the ye-ye pop of Francoise Hardy’s 60s English language records as a starting point. It will be Anne’s first record in English. Hear some of Anne’s French songs here.

So this blog is the story of my new French Pop Dream, with some info on my old stuff and assorted stray reflections on pop and showbiz matters that take my fancy.
