A Message from Tony

For the few who are interested in such things,

Many years ago I was a once a member of the National Front. It was probably the worse decision of my life and one I very much regret.

However, I have no connection with, sympathy for, or interest in those ideas nor have I had for around 20 years.

A number of friends and musicians whom I work with (including my wife of 8 years), my bass player, my percussionist and engineer/producer, would be at best discriminated against or at worse dead if a far-right party took power.

None of the artists I work with hold such views either, and I doubt they would want to work with me if they thought I did.

I am willing to discus this matter privately with friends and associates and with those who are genuinely interested in my music or wish to work with me.

However, this is the last public statement I plan to make on the subject. I am too fat to jump through hoops for people.

In the end people will either have to believe me or not.
