Five piano snippets inspired by John Cale.

Fish Out Of Water/Homage To John Cale

Well, the John Cale concert’s over, and we’ve had an amazing night - and some of us are making our way out of the hall, while others are kinda lingering in hope that JC will return to the stage. Faithful groupies have a special kind of magic - and some are lucky enough to meet the Maestro himself.

And as the gear is being packed away on stage, and the lights are up - the music we listen to has a chunk of magic all to itself. It’s Welsh, and it is beautiful...

John Cale's, Thoughtless Kind

This is my good friend Gavin Hellyer in Australia reading John Cale’s - A Child’s Christmas In Wales. I’m accompanying him on piano - in Wales.

Fish Outta Water

Fish outta water
Far from the mainstream
Came out of the valley
Went over the sea

Musical maestro
Experimental Welshman
Enriching the lives
Of you and me

Fish Outta Water

Set Me Free first appeared on the album Walking On Locusts in 1996 - and then, as a live performance, and cleverly reworked - added to HoboSapiens as a hidden track in 2003.
