the album, "Sugar for the Soul" entered the UK Top 40, and was a frequently-requested favourite on The Box music channel and led to a TOTP2 appearance. The second single from the album, "All I Am is You", was Ken Bruce's single of the week on Radio 2. Balsamo returned to the stage in the French musical "Notre Dame de Paris". He then worked on Poe: More Tales of Mystery and Imagination, a new musical and an album by Alan Parsons Project writer Eric Woolfson, based on the life of poet Edgar Allan Poe. It premiered at Abbey Road Studios in 2003. Balsamo co-wrote the French entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, which finished 15th. In 2004, Balsamo formed The Storys, a West Coast influenced country rock band consisting of Andy Collins (bass/vocals/songwriting), Dai Smith (guitar/vocals/songwriting), Alan Thomas (keyboards), Brian Thomas (drums/percussion) and Rob Thompson (guitar/vocals/songwriting). Dai Smith left in 2008 and was replaced by Rosalie Deighton. Balsamo, along with Storys bandmate Rob Thompson and Rob Reed of prog rock band Magenta, also worked on a progrock project called ChimpanA. With Rob Thompson and Andy Collins of The Storys he released an EP under the name of Oystermouth, "Five Songs For Jen". Balsamo is a prolific songwriter and has had hits in Europe and Australia with artists such as Meat Loaf, Anthony Callea, Jonatan Cerrada, and Slash of Guns N' Roses. He toured with the late Jon Lord and had been writing and recording with him before Lord's death. Recently he has been writing songs with folk singer Rosalie Deighton for a duet project called Balsamo Deighton,° who performed in Swansea, Wales in 2013 in tribute to fellow Welshman Pete Ham.
