Ida Mae
When acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist Ethan Johns contacted Ida Mae's management team they may not have expected it, but they were ready for it.
"So we got this call and the message was, 'Ethan wants to meet you at this time, on this day and at this address'. We ended up going to his house – in the wilds of Somerset, in a log cabin in the back of his garden – and talking about music all day," Chris Turpin recalls.
"Halfway through the day, the conversation changed and we thought, 'Hold on, does he want to do our record?' He ended up asking us to stay for dinner and then I just thought, 'I'm going to call out the elephant in the room' and I said, 'We'd love for you to do our record' and he said, 'Fantastic, I'd love to record it'. We're still not sure how it all happened!"
