Mark Airbush Hollywood Interview With Chris Currie 17 August 2015

I wanted to create a Latino track for my album 'Airbrush Hollywood'.     I think the words are not as crucial in this particular song, it's the musical style that counts - some lovely Spanish guitar created and played by Graham Kinnear on here too.

Mark Whiteley Local Radio Interview 6/10/12

Songwriter from New Brighton, Wirral UK (near Liverpool) currently working on my first album 'Airbrush Hollywood' being released via FYNK studios, on 1st August 2015..

I'm influenced by 60's and 70's pop and rock , Americana, AOR from the past. I pay acoustic guitar and Sax in the Marshall Hearts band and both these instruments, plus many more, appear on the album.  I'm very much into putting 'hooks' into my songs, I think their greatest strength. I want someone to listen to one of my songs and remember it, that's how I'm building my album.

The third track on the album will be 'Gods of California' , a song loosely based on the issue of the sacking of Don Felder from The Eagles.  Felder fell out with Don Henley and even more so with Glen Frey, but the problem for them was that although Felder's lead guitar skills could be replaced, and they have, he was the man who wrote the basic structure of 'Hotel California', arguably their greatest hit, so his contribution to the band's output can't simply be ignored by the 'Gods' (as he called Frey and Henley in his autobiography.
