Asylum Seeker are a pseudo studio band and Steve Thompson at www.stmedia.org was responsible for the production. Steve did a fantastic job interpreting my demands for the best part and deserves full recognition. The songs are entirely written and copyrighted by Jon Bate. The vocals are performed admirably by Phil Caffrey who has also done me proud.

Asylum Seeker is at this moment just a studio pseudo.

On the rock front it has to be Paul Rodgers (Free/Bad Company). Also Gerry Rafferty, John Lennon, Jeff Lynn (ELO).
