Brian Houston - Sugar Queen

In 2002 Brian Houston was offered a support slot in England with an American band from L.A. The deal was; no fees, no expenses and you eat what you can sell in Cd's. England was a place He'd wanted to play for a while so heI took the risk.

'Tour followed tour and at some stage thanks to an agent who'd set me up some gigs, my album Mea Culpa landed on the desk of Bob Harris. He began to play my music from time to time and more doors opened to tour the length and breadth of England in 100 seat venues.

At a gig in Southampton in April 2005 I met the producer Nigel Stonier. He loved my songs and we agreed to work on making the album that would be Sugar Queen. From the start it was very different from the other albums I'd done. His input into every song was invaluable. He also hired the best musicians for the type of music I play and was determined to capture what he'd seen live.

With input from Thea Gilmore and Robbie Mcintosh singing and playing on the recording and Nigel's sense of direction, I believe Sugar Queen is the most honest and representative album I've made to date.' ~ Brian Houston

One of Britain's great song writers ~ Bob Harris
