In spite of the tube strike Devon Sproule and Paul Curreri turned up at the office yesterday. Devon brought her 1954 Gibson, which excited a good deal of admiration. She was raised on a commune in Virginia called Twin Oaks, was singing in shopping malls as a young teenager and made her first album when she was just seventeen. Paul is her husband, a position he worked his way up to via jumping on stage uninvited during a show and then making a record called "Songs For Devon Sproule". (This helps, as you might expect.) He's also got a rather sudden new haircut (above, right) which has attracted much comment. There's a new CD/DVD Live In London out now.

We've also been out talking to the people who from De Wolfe Music, Britain's premier provider of so-called "production music", which means everything from the theme tune to "Vision On" through the orchestral stabs that punctuate fights in kung-fu movies to music used as background on commercials. De Wolfe have been going for a hundred years but it's only recently that they've been making some it available to the public via compilations put together by Joel Martin. The latest one's called Top Dog and it's got many of your favourite TV and radio themes on it. David Hepworth went to DeWolfe to talk to Joel Martin and Warren De Wolfe.
