Dixon plays with John Illingworth Smith as Illingworth. The duo have been writing and producing music together for 28 years.[when?] In early 2020, they decided to create a brand-new album during the months of lockdown. New...Normal was released in September 2020.
In January 2019, Dixon played guitar for a live performance of "Blackbird" by the Beatles, as part of Rachel Fuller 's "Animal Requiem" concert in St. James Church, Piccadilly, London, joined by Alfie Boe on lead vocals, and accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chamber Choir of London. He also played the song on October 26, 2019, at another performance of "Animal Requiem", at Royce Hall, UCLA, this time with Pete Townshend on vocals.
