Only the best people fight against all obstacles in pursuit of happiness

Your article on the film Under The Volcano [MOJO 335] gives the impression AIR Studios in Montserrat has ceased to exist. While not in full use still, I have an album called Montserrat, recorded by the one and only John Otway in 2016. The deluxe version has a booklet about how they managed to record there and the contact with George Martin’s son, as well as how welcoming the island was to them.

Maybe not in the same league as The Rolling Stones, The Police et al, but not to be ignored. Hopefully you will cover John’s 5,000th gig at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire next April with a major article about the man himself. Colin Coates, via e-mail
