The original idea Geoff had for the collection of songs on ‘Another World’ was to record them very simply with just an acoustic guitar to capture the intimate atmosphere and feelings the songs were expressing, but after playing the songs with guitarist Brett Garsed, bass player Gary Soloman and vocalist Kim O’Leary, he felt their contribution was exactly what the songs needed to complete the recording process.
*Brett Garsed is a highly respected guitarist internationally, not only well known for his own solo work, but also for his time with US rock band ‘Nelson’ and as guitarist for ‘Australian superstar’ John Farnham (since the ‘Whispering Jack’ album released in 1986)
*Gary Soloman is a much in demand bass player in Australia who also writes and produces music for his own solo career. He first came to Geoff’s attention while playing for Bo Diddley on Bo’s Aussie tours. They hooked up in 1988 and have worked together off and on since.
*Kim O’Leary is a prolific singer songwriter with a worldwide fan base. Her new album is due for release in August 2011.
