A unique collaboration between John Helliwell, Paul Wertico, Gianmarco Scaglia and Raimondo Meli Lupi

Paul Wertico: "I can't begin to adequately express how excited I am to have our first official studio recording, THE BARI SESSION, finally released! Ever since the very first time John, Raimondo, Gianmarco and I played together back in 2008, I've loved this band and knew we had that "special chemistry" that truly makes a band: A BAND."

John Helliwell: "In 2019, I was working on my album "Ever Open Door" with Andy Scott, the arranger and composer. We decided to co-write a tune. Originally, the album's title was to have been "When I Was Young" which is the first line of the lyrics from the Supertramp song "The Logical Song". The next line in that song is "… It Seemed That Life Was So Wonderful" — so as it represents my general outlook on life, it felt like an appropriate title for a new tune. Very shortly afterwards, I toured Italy with Paul, Raimondo and Gianmarco where we included this tune in our performances. I am honoured that it was included in our MAST Studio session in Bari during this tour."
