5. Checkpoint Charlie is a cheerful song about a hole in a wall - in this case the Berlin Wall. I was in Berlin at the end of 1989 when people had started making holes in the wall, taking pieces of it away as souvenirs. Travelling by train back from a wedding in Poland, I got off at Tiergarten station in East Berlin, mistaking it for Zoo in West Berlin (Tiergarten is German for Zoo). I walked to the wall, found a checkpoint and went through. A few months before it could have been more complicated but being from the West, still unlikely to be dangerous.
In 1980 thousands of Cubans found a way through their own Iron Curtain by occupying the Peruvian embassy in Havana and demanding asylum - some dissidents crashed a bus through the gates, a policeman was killed in cross-fire, Cuba withdrew the guards and 10,000 people occupied the rather small Embassy grounds. Peru agreed to grant asylum but couldn’t cope. Urgent negotiations resulted in the Mariel Boatlift by which 125,000 Cubans became US citizens in the course of few months.
'Work' is one of my favourite Monk tunes and I've been working on his music for a long time, often with guitarists. This solo guitar take on ALL his tunes is just great - warm, good natured and true. Loz Speyer / Spherical Records
Petra and Meg went to an island off the coast of Norway to make this record, and deliver 45mins of intense musicality and emotional directness, beyond what you'd think possible for a duo. Loz Speyer / Spherical Records
