Speaking about his quartet to Pete Lewis of the magazine Blues & Soul, in an interview prior to their performance at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival in May 2008, Salmon stated: In terms of recording, we've done none.

We've mostly just done very occasional performances – usually at very special events.

You know, keeping a consistent band going is a bit like getting the Aston Martin out the garage – you have to run it every now and then!

And what's made that particularly difficult in the last year, for example, is that I've literally just spent an entire 12 months travelling the world acting – from China through to Montreal to Botswana.

But, having said that, with the children being older I do have more time when I am at home these days.

So we have been able to do some rehearsing together.

And, while we've always mostly performed standards, I have actually for the first time written some new stuff in time for this upcoming Cheltenham gig.
