Saul and Jak have been mates “since they were born”. Their parents had been school friends, before finding jobs in the music business. Saul’s dad designed record sleeves for A&M – the Captain Sensible Xmas single with the free foam beard was a favourite – while Jak’s father played session bass for, among others, Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook.
