In this final bonus episode, Mark, Ruben, and Tom pull back the curtain on the four-year journey behind DJA’s landmark album. They celebrate the unsung heroes—engineer Jeremy Murphy, studio British Grove, the ever-reliable Gaz and James, designer Ollie at Split, label partner Martin at Ubuntu, and funder Paul Walford—without whom none of it would have been possible. Through stories of weddings, stag dos, unexpected friendships, and hernia recoveries, this episode captures what DJA has always been about: connection, care, and community. A thank-you to everyone—and a nod to the next generation.

The album closes as it began—with intent, history, and heart. Sax No End, originally played live at Ronnie Scott’s and witnessed by John Ellis himself, was long thought lost. But thanks to Ruben’s deep-dive transcription and a bit of musical archaeology, the DJA band was able to bring it back to life. From mystery suitcases to Mark White’s final snowflake of sound, this final track celebrates the powerful legacy of Francy Boland and a big band era nearly forgotten. A fitting closer to a monumental project—and a tribute to the man who inspired it all.

A Donny favourite finally gets the studio treatment it deserves. Show Me the Way to Go Home has been part of the DJA fabric for decades, passed between generations and marked with the handwritten notes of past players. This swinging Sammy Nestico chart closes the first day of recording with warmth, soul, and standout solos from Mike and Martin. In this episode, the team reflect on the legacy of Nestico, the timeless charm of this arrangement, and the joy of honouring a composer who helped shape their musical roots.
