"Balfey actually lived in a house, a very big house in the country. I'm aware that the song isn't exactly a paean to my greatness, but I'm genuinely proud about it."
"By the mid-90s, after two decades in music, he was depressed and disillusioned, so he sold up and bought the very big house to raise a family."
"Now, though, he's back, with Late Transmissions, a new collaboration with former Dalek I Love You bandmate-turned-film score composer Dave Hughes and glamorous Liverpool-based singer Eve Quartermain."
"But if you think about how difficult something is you'll never do anything, he says in a quiet pub in the 'pool. I've always tried not to let anything stop me."
David Balfe, known for his time with the Teardrop Explodes and as a music publisher, is recognized for his connection to Blur's 'Country House.' After a period of depression in the mid-90s, he left the music scene to raise a family in a large house in Bedfordshire. Now, he returns with 'Late Transmissions,' a collaboration with Dave Hughes and Eve Quartermain, blending 60s pop, film music, and orchestral trip-hop. Balfe emphasizes overcoming challenges and not letting difficulties hinder creativity.
