Snap Shots: Mr Chill meets Punkdaddy
“We first met in 1972 and we both featured on Brighton’s first independent label Attrix Records. We got together again in 2010 and wrote a song about Gary’s wife Angie who was dying of cancer. After her death we continued to work together, wrote lots of songs and decided to put the album together.”
Mr Chill meets Punkdaddy ‘Devil’s Music’, is a collaboration by two Brighton musicians, Gary Turner & Phil Byford, of exquisitely executed rock and roll rhythms, blissful blues and punk.
