This song, originally by The Police, has a strong emotional resonance for me: When I was a kid my taste in music was completely guided by my dad's record collection -- he had thousands of records, so every day was a musical education. But when my mum and dad split up I was left with my mum's record collection which was... erm... sh*t (sorry mum!) She had one record I liked, so it got played a lot. And this was it. A darkly isolationist anthem of despair. And now look at me. I hope you like it!

Thanks to the fantastic Luke Wright and his colleagues at Horizon Productions http://www.horizonproductions.co.uk/ and Jack Simpson and everyone Eiger Studios, Leeds http://www.eiger-studios.com/

Stuck for a Christmas present for somebody? Give the Gift of Gomm. CDs are available from my website, and I will autograph them at no extra cost with my very own pen (if you tell me who the gift is for, I'll make it out to them!)

Just google "jon gomm store"

CDs are £7.99, which is €9.84 or $12.86 right now. And there's T-shirts, plectrums and other stuff too.

It's what all of my family are getting! :D

That guitar you're using, it should be enshrined for people to come and marvel that it was held by the hands of a musical God..
