The film ‘A Degree of Murder’ featured Anita Pallenberg, the then-girlfriend of Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. He had been contracted to do the soundtrack for the movie and I appeared in quite a number of pieces within the soundtrack.

The session was at IBC and Brian was totally in charge of everything. I was asked to it and of course I wanted to do whatever I could to help him realise his ideas.

It was a magical session and Brian was lovely to work with.

As well as playing regular guitar, this was one of the first times I used the violin bow on a session. He asked me to come up with something and I took along my bow just in case. He was thrilled when I played it.
