'The Fire Stairs' is the debut album from Welsh singer/songwriter Rhys Williams. The album was recorded at Crouch Hill Studios in 2007, with genius Scandiwegian producer Thomas Johansen.
Also featured on the album are legendary drummer and Spurs season ticket holder Dave Barbarossa (Adam and the Ants, Bow Wow Wow, Republica), the Deadstring Brothers' Spencer Cullum on pedal and lap steel, harpist Camilla Pay (Spiritualized, The Divine Comedy, Jay-Z) and longtime Morrissey cohort Boz Boorer on electric guitar.
You can hear tracks from the record at www.myspace.com/rhyswilliamsmusic.
Rhys is perhaps best known as the third most famous flautist in popular music history, thanks to his one minute contribution to Morrissey's multi-squillion selling You Are The Quarry album in 2004. He also made a cameo at Morrissey's triumphant Manchester comeback the same year. The solo was variously described as 'delightful' by Q Magazine, 'striking' by Radio 4's Front Row and 'horrific' by the NME.
It also prompted an internet death threat.
