A prime example of his abilities can be found in A Day in the Life—a creation inspired by a newspaper article which was propped up in front of the piano as he wrote the song.

He happened upon a vintage circus poster whilst exploring an antique shop in Kent, which led to the creation of Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!Also in News
