Cloud Hills studios, Hamburg

It's 1st of June 2014 and Peter is staying at a well appointed flat above the studio. There is everything here including 5 bedrooms, a large kitchen, plenty of light - even a magnificent original Bally Playboy pinball machine. Outside is the retro "Challenger" camping van in which he and his film-maker girlfriend tour Europe - last week it made short work of the trip from Barcelona at the cost only of the fuel and a tyre which his financial manager fixed this afternoon - valiantly changing the off side back wheel single handed.
The new solo album is taking shape here at Cloud Hills and will be distributed by Rough Trade.
Right now Peter is watching an old "Steptoe and Son" episode probably for the umpteenth time and laughing uproariously at Harry H Corbett and Wilfred Bramble bickering with each other about their holiday destination. "I want to go to Bognor"!
They don't write them like that any more!

I was fortunate enough to obtain a pre-release copy and can assert that any fan who pays the £8.45 Kindle download price should not be disappointed.
