In January 1995 an all day memorial concert was held in London to pay tribute to John Stevens. Frode and I played the penultimate set in a trio with Terje Isungset. Paul Rutherford brought the celebration to a fitting close with a wonderful solo set. Later, over a beer or two, we determined to play together as a quartet. In November of that year Calling Signals played its first gigs in Norway, followed by an Arts Council supported tour of the UK. This music was recorded on that tour.
