John Fitzsimons and Robert Smith met in a South London squat in 1981, when both were beginning their musical journeys. Songwriters, they survived by selling cars, decorating rooms and rewiring houses.
It was the days of cassette recording and they used the “new” technology to work together on songs. They both had success with their own projects but continued the songwriting co-operation into the 80s and 90s.
Moving out of London to the South Coast and the West Country, and sent tapes and cassettes by post to each other as song ideas developed.
Some years later they released an album of these songs - still on streaming services entitled “John (The Captain) Fitzsimons and Robert S Smith”. Another solo album of John The Captain Fitzsimons is also available.
