What happened?

And so you're given this cancer diagnosis, got moved to St Bart's Hospital in central London.

James, as part of your treatment, you had to be in complete isolation.
What was that like and how did you deal with it?
James, you said you've been making music since you were small, essentially, and that it's, you know, very much part of your daily life.
How did it feel to suddenly stop while you were in hospital?
During his time in isolation, James wasn't allowed visitors, except for Serene, his wife.
For those two weeks he couldn't even see his son.
To help him pass a time, Serene bought him an IKEA fold up table and some of his equipment from home.

One might imagine, given the circumstances, that you would have made an album that was quite sombre and quite serious.
Yet it's absolutely quite joyful, life-affirming.
