It started “Once In America”…
In 1992 the recordlabel Sonet signed the band Westwood and their first single release became a major hit in Denmark. The song “Once In America” was a success from the beginning and the bandmembers Michael Vesterskov, Jan Tellefsen and Soren Skov followup with the album “Westwood” recording in London and produced by Greg Walsh. The album did get a good radiocover in Denmark and became also a hit in Norway.
After the first album Westwood broke up in 1993, and it was actually when they were in the studio to prepare their second album, they decided to split and then the project were closed. But Michael Vesterskov decided to still keep the “Westwood” alive and he recorded a Mini-EP in 1993 and later in 1998 Tenderfoot Records released the album “Blossom From The Dirt” under the Westwood name, but is was actually mostly the works of Michael Vesterskov.
Michael Vesterskov continued to write material and in 2001 he was ready to release his first soloalbum “No Time At All” and has followed it up with the livealbum “Assemblage” in 2002.
