Nervous Ned

Released October 2006

The inspiration for Ned came when I was being tattooed. I was told that eating some chocolate would relax me. So each of the five days I was being tattooed, I bought a bag of malt balls. One night Elly decided not to come to the session and I bought a pound of chocolate-covered coffee beans. Elly called me late that night and asked me what was wrong, why I was speaking so fast. I realized that eating the beans was like drinking espresso for 10 hours, so the idea for Nervous Ned was born.
