This video was shot at the world famous Abbey Road studios in North London where Pugwash were recording strings for their new album' Jollity' in Studio 2. The string arrangements were by ex-XTC man Dave Gregory and were performed by The Section Quartet from LA. The music you hear is a strings only mix of 'I want You Back In My Life (For Mam)'.
As the camera explores the studio look out for the pianos and keyboards the Beatles used at their sessions in the sixties. Studio 2 has an evocative atmosphere that rubs off on everyone who works there. I hope this video captures some of that magic.
Enjoy

THE Dave Gregory of XTC? I love XTC but I'm new to Pugwash, does he play guitar in their band?
