Who better to tell you about the whys and wherefores of Hangover Terrace than the man himself? On the title Hangover Terrace: "One day my band and I were travelling to the London Palladium and we passed a place called Hanover Terrace to which Don Kerr (drummer in Ron's band) quipped 'Hangover Terrace.' Anyway, I had a sort of lightbulb moment and felt right away that was going to be the title. It speaks of this hangover I feel from the last few years of pandemic and life knocking us around."

On London: "It was the first time I'd recorded in London since 2007 and I didn't realize how much I had missed spending quality time there. Working at Eastcote with Martin Terefe again felt really free. I'd forgotten how spontaneous his approach to recording could be. Every day I'd walk to the studio thinking about whichever song we were gonna do and I'd try to reimagine each one going a different way than I originally intended and usually by the time I arrived I was ready to try out something new."

On producer Martin Terefe and the players on the record: "Well, Martin's very open-minded and instinctual. He doesn't have knee-jerk reactions to things. The studio complex is filled with musicians wandering in and out of the various studios so you never know who's gonna end up on your record."
