 The
Olsen Brothers and Sir Cliff Richard met in Tinman Studios in
September to record the song "Look up look down" that was used
as the opening song for the 2001 Eurovision Song Contest.
Mike Myers
who produced the session along with Stig Kreutzfeldt the
Olsen's producer, originally met Cliff many years ago at the
BBC TV show "Top Of The Pops" in the UK when Mike was working
with artist Billy Ocean. The Shadows also recorded
"Stand Up Like A Man", one of Mike's songs for the Eurovision
Song Contest in 1975.
The
atmosphere between everyone was very relaxed. The Olsen
brothers, their producer Stig and their manager Steen,
together with the Tinman crew really got on well, especially
Cliff and Mike, who apart from living relatively close to each
other in Portugal also discovered that they have mutual
friends.
Stig recorded a guide track of "Look up look down" elsewhere,
prior to coming to Portugal. We added Cliff's vocal to the
track here at Tinman Studios with Mike.
