In the last episode of the second series, Andy looks at his favourite song on the 'AT' album he wrote with Tim Finn. 'Best Fun Time for Ages' started with a confidence, an unexpected party, a line from a sister—and ended up a record.
You will hear Tim's original demo recording, Andy's exploration of the multitrack recording, and how the improvised end section came about. It's not A Day in the Life, but that's what the structure ended up resembling. As ever, the episode plays out with the last version of the song before the guys sent it to John Leckie to mix.
Thanks for your support for This podcast is only temporary, Andy says he had the best fun time for ages making this second series. He's off to tour his brand new release 'Good Luck I Hope You Make It' and perhaps that's where the next series will start. Until then, catch up with any episodes you may have missed, and do take care.
