The Barge

From Allan Holdsworth Information Center

Mike Pachelli Show (video transcript 1991)

AH: ...we finished doing the whole album on this little boat on a canal in London.



MP: What’s it called, the Barge?

AH: Yeah the Barge (laughs)

MP: Was it really a barge?

AH: Yeah! It was just a little floating barge and when the boats would go by the whole studio would go like (waves hands up and down) – it was great! Then we tried to give the album away and we couldn’t – we sent tapes to like 5 major labels in England and – nobody was interested in it free – we didn’t want anything, we just said could you just put this album out and they said No, so that’s essentially why I tried to get over to the States.
