'Hear the master ! JIMMY COPLEY's live drums
(soloed from the original 'In The House Of Stone And Light' master recording)

Hi everyone. I recently was playing around in the studio and decided to pull out the original master tape recording of my song 'In the House of Stone and Light'. I was again struck by the masterful live drumming of the great Jimmy Copley ... who's playing contributed so much to the song's success and to the launch of my solo career. So I soloed Jimmy's drums from the mix for you all to hear. Now you can hear the intricacies and nuances of Jim's extraordinary 'feel'.
 This is how it all went down - with the live studio 'room' sound mixed in so you can hear the ambience of the performance.
 Great drummers contribute hooks to hit songs - think of Ringo and Phil Collins etc. Jimmy does the same here with 'House'. I can't imagine the song without his rhythm part. He's a powerful hitter - and yet his delicacy of touch is extraordinary... just listen to the ride cymbal in the B sections. Grace with power. And his grace note touches on the snare ... a thing of beauty. When I played with Jimmy I noticed how the hi-hat became his focus ... the moment he sat down at the kit you knew he was organically joined to the whole kit ... he lived the 'kit' - he was the 'kit'. And just take a listen to that kick drum foot of his .... not an easy pattern to nail ... but he's taking the train home. Jimmy has the funk in his blood. I fell in love with his playing because he bridged soul with rock in such an elegant way .... he's a soul man for me.
  On top of that he's a 'top man' too. Salt of the earth. A gentleman of good heart - no airs and graces or ego - he's become a true brother to me. We laughed together till we thought we'd fall over....

 I was prompted to listen to Jimmy's work with me recently because he's not doing too well fighting that awful leukemia that's beset him over the last year. He's in the middle of a very, very hard fight at the moment. Please send your heart's thoughts his way. He's at home battling at present - and I know he'll appreciate all your comments and love and well wishes.

Listening to Jim here, 'naked' on 'House of Stone and Light', I'm made acutely aware that the man's positive character is infused in his performances. For me, he's a melodic drummer - as the best of them are - enhancers of song. A rare, rare breed.

Please enjoy our Jimmy bashing the skins. And join me here, in sending all your love and hearts to Mr. Copley .... he plays for you X
Cheers Jim - your Pagey x

“ RADIO OWLSNEST Episode 11 “

Welcome all my flat faced, big eared, loyal Owlheads to episode 11 of Radio Owlsnest - the place where my rare demos, my song experiments, my oldies, my newbies all get aired in an atmosphere of complete chaos and abandon.  Labeled as a songwriter’s podcast for all intents and purposes, I like to think of it as more of a ‘Pagey’ retro magical mystery tour.  When I record each show, I’m never sure which songs I’m going to play... my choices are always on the spur of the moment, chosen in the heat of battle.  This show is no exception; I just go with the OwlHead flow!

Episode 11 is a real cornucopia of styles.  Digging into my suitcase of cassettes from the ancient past, recently discovered oldies are randomly thrown together with brand new songs and rare mixes from my catalog.

You’ll hear the story behind one of my most-played songs, second only to “In the House of Stone and Light”.  I place it within the top five songs that I’ve ever written.  I’ll spin a very romantic Gaelic styled demo that is seeing the light of day .... for the first time in Yonkers (AGES!) - I’d literally forgotten about it; It was truly a cassette ‘dive’ discovery.

You’ll hear a song I wrote with a Robbie Williams folk album in mind (now there’s an unreal scenario if ever there was one), in which I had to explain to Robbie what a ‘press gang’ was.  Journey back with me to an old England pub and the scavenging Royal Navy.

I’ll also give a spin to a new track that retraces a moment in time when the world changed forever, and the consequences weigh heavy on all of us still today.

Intermingled within the sonics is a different kind of quiz this month... a quiz that requires your judgment - your taste - your personal discrimination and your diplomacy ... I’m sure you’ll all be happy to hear that!

So sit back my feathered beasties, fold your weary wings, cradle that coffee, tea or (something stronger), and release yourself into the ether of Radio Owlsnest - where hopefully you can get lost with me for a short while.
