Night Shift is a blues and jazz album. Two years ago I started to work on a series of demos under the working title of 33rpm. As it progressed I started to listen to more and more of Nina Simone and the jazz singers of the 50s and 60s. I often worked late into the night rehearsing a set that would become the album. I wanted to be able to play it live with minimalist accompanyment - just piano and vocal with perhaps bass and percussion.
A big thank you to Emily Olive Boyd who sang on Going To Get You Back and to Ruth Trimble at Chicken Shack recording studio. Thank you also to Andy at Blackdog Studios in Florida and all the support from the lovely paople at Lagan Sessions.
