Description
Providence is the ninth and final studio album by the British folk-pop duo Phil & John (Phil Baggaley and John Hartley), this time around credited as “Phil & John & The Woodthieves”, released on Alliance Music in August 1997. Three producers were involved; Andy Piercy of After The Fire fame, Lynn Nichols and Dave Perkins (the latter two of Chagall Guevara fame).
Providence was our final studio project and was recorded partly here and partly in America. We had three different producers. We had Andy Piercy (the After The Fire man who went on to produce Delirious?). He’s a great producer. Also Lynn Nichols, who we’d worked with on ‘Don’t Look Now…It’s The Hallelujah Brothers‘ – again, really good to work with him – and Dave Perkins, who had a bus in his back garden which was his studio. There was a basement with retro amps and that type of thing. We took quite a while to record it all. It was an independent company called Phoenix, based in Sheffield, who had signed us. It came out, but unfortunately the record company folded. It was the last thing we did. [Excerpt from an interview with Phil Baggaley of Phil & John, Cross Rhythms, October 2010]
