2013 Diary Update and 2012 Recap from Tony Lowe

I started the year by co-producing an Album with Violinist, David Cross (King Crimson); a wonderfully evocative, instrumental work grown from the famous Starless theme. The album will be out sometime soon and it was great working with David again after all these years.

We completed work on Simon Townshend’s album ‘Looking out Looking in’ and spent much of the year touring that with Simon. We finished recording new material for Simon’s next album with Mark Brzezicki (Big Country) on drums and Phil Spalding on bass; some stunningly brilliant new songs from Si on that one too. The Album is due out in the summer. 

We signed a new project to the Sunn Creative label, producing an album in between live shows. We will be announcing this formidable musical force and release soon, which I also play guitar and bass on.

In February I start work on a new Album with Alison Fleming. She’s flying out in March to do vocals and we hope to release that by late summer. It’s a wonderful collection of songs and will be very different from the last one, Simon is on the road with The Who for the next few months but we expect to be back on the road promoting his next album after that. Here are the dates for Simon’s UK tour, hope to see you there!

There will also be the release of a project started 20 years ago but that’s a secret for now. ;-)

Life is good! I am so lucky to be able to work creatively and with some of the best writers and performers around. This year also bought me a beautiful Granddaughter and that is the best blessing of all.
