Just saw the lovely Jack Savoretti being interviewed on a Saturday morning cookery show. Jack was my student for about a year earlier in his career. His management at the time wanted me to mould him into a Chris Martin in a typical music industry ploy to turn an artist into a clone of the latest big thing. I encouraged Jack to ignore this advice and develop his obvious authentic voice. He is still the same charming, sincere and artistic chap. Glad he freed himself from those influences and has found the success he deserves.
Still think he smokes too much though. The gravel is growing :)
