Jan Burnett, Chute Records owner and THE GRAND GESTURES creator & producer comments: "It's amazing that an album made on a 16 track recorder in my toilet has had this kind of response. We've had our first review too - 5/5 in Artrocker magazine". The album features various vocalists & Jan sent them the music, the vocalists then visited his home and recorded their vocals in his bathroom, he then served a curry lunch, two of the album's contributors take up THE GRAND GESTURES story. Who said the music business was difficult? Here is the story of THE GRAND GESTURES: "Man gets in touch with Man 2 on Facebook. Man is musician Jan Burnett. Man 2 is me. Man sends Man 2 music. Music is unique and beautiful. Man 2 is inspired. Man 2 writes tennis ballad. Man 2 goes to Man's house & records vocal in Man's toilet. Man makes Man 2 smashing curry, and smashing job of ballad. Man 2 is inspired to send Man another vocal. Man is inspired by vocal and makes more beautiful music. Man repeats process with other mans and womans. Now Man 2 is on his first album with cream of Scottish music scene. Album is sparkly gem. Man 2 smiles." - Sanjeev Kohli Navid "Being invited to take part in The Grand Gestures has been a lovely way to catch up with my old friend Jan Burnett from Spare Snare, make new friends, sing a beautiful song in a bathroom (swapping the hairbrush for a real microphone) and eat the perfect curry lunch. I didn't eat the curry in the bathroom. That would be unhygienic" Emma Pollock (Burns Unit / The Delgados / Chemikal Underground Records) "An interesting and artistically creative way to tell a story about Wimbledon backed by cool music" - Pat Cash (1987 Wimbledon champion) "Should you need your spirits lifting then stick The Grand Gestures debut CD on and shut your eyes, open your heart, and listen as the pure joy of it washes over you - spirits not only lifted but given a good old shakedown, brush-up, and thorough-going overhaul...a hundred per cent sensory satisfaction or your money back!" - John Byrne, legendary artist & writer.
