The album does not feature frontman Lawrence in any musical capacity, apart from directing the sessions and providing the track titles (except for "Run Chico Run", which is credited to Wenzel Brown[1]). The music, all instrumental and in a jazz style, was written and performed by keyboardist Martin Duffy and drummer/percussionist Gary Ainge.
