Aide-mémoire is a forty-one track, two-CD set which draws attention to a wondrous selection of material from albums in a solo career that has only rarely been glimpsed between Watkins' distinguished work for other artists. Most of these songs are examples of his own compositions - shaped by a broad and impeccable taste in music - with the bonus of a small clutch of fabulous renderings of some classic titles, incomparably re-modelled by the same pair of hands.
