Flowers is an English studio musician born on May 19, 1938, in Isleworth, Middlesex. He specializes in bass guitar, double-bass, and tuba. Flowers gained prominence through his performances with David Bowie, Elton John, and later Lou Reed. His iconic bass opens Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side" and underpins Bowie's "Space Oddity" as well as Harry Nilsson's song "Jump Into The Fire." In 1969, Flowers co-founded the group Blue Mink and was a member of CCS and a mid-1970s line-up of T. Rex. In 1979 he became a co-founder of the band Sky.

Since the early 1990s when Sky disbanded, Flowers has dedicated most of his time to playing jazz. Alongside his music career, he works as a bass guitar teacher and leads 'rockshops' at schools where he helps children create and perform their own songs while covering various others. Notably, Flowers composed the novelty hit "Grandad" for Clive Dunn.

Fortuna Pop was an English pop label that was founded in 1995. Known for its dedication to promoting independent and alternative music, the label quickly gained a reputation for releasing high-quality albums from talented artists. However, on 31 July 2016, Fortuna Pop sadly announced that it would be shutting down. Despite its closure, the label's legacy lives on through the incredible music it released during its time.

Limited to 500 copies with exclusive B Side 'Rachel's Song'. The first single to be taken from the Flowers' album 'Do What You Want To, It's What You Should Do' is 'Joanna', a song about someone suffering from a depression so deep that has become part of their identity. 'Joanna' was the second song recorded in their sessions with producer Bernard Butler but the first where everything just clicked and the band knew they had a working creative relationship. "He made it sound full of vitality and excitement", says Rachel, Flowers' lead singer. This 7" was advertised as coloured vinyl but is only available on Black vinyl.
