Can you remember when you first heard or saw Jesus Christ Superstar? 

I definitely remember the first time I saw it, and I was bored out of my head, watching the film in the 1970s. It was when it started doing the cinema rounds, and my school had a film club. I must have been nine or ten years old. All I remember was getting to 'Hosana' after the first thirty five or forty minutes and asking to go home. So that's when I first saw Superstar.

I came to know various songs from it but my taste veered more towards shows like Chess, I liked things that were big orchestral pieces. Superstar felt a little bit raw. I didn't want to do that raw edged singing, I wanted to be more like the singer Tommy Körburg became. His voice became my dream to attain. His smooth, open throated, well trained sound. I was thinking my singing was a bit too rough in comparison. I didn't sound like Michael Ball. I was a totally different style.

So when I started to look at the text of Gethsemane, and the structure of the song, I started to think that it was a phenomenon. Quite possibly the best emotional progression in a song I had ever seen. At that time I was very much into my acting, I wanted to be in plays and television drama, and I was also writing. So I was very much into the phrasing, how the words sat in the music. I was very much into that thought process. 

I thought Gethsemane was the greatest blend of top end singing with the deepest introspection in the lyric, passion, heartbreak, love, fear... I had never seen a song like it, ever. I still haven't. So from the moment I sat and bothered to listen, studied what Gethsemane is, I was desperate to play it.
