Day 10 – Album Recording Session

February 4, 2010

Thank god my head was feeling better when I got up on Wednesday as it was starting to get the better of me in the studio! I got cracking into the vocals on Roses of Spring. It took quite a while as it is a new track and the vocal was probably the least developed [...]

Day 9 – Album Recording Session

February 2, 2010

Arrived into the studio on Tuesday morning to record vocals on Memphis but my head was starting to feel all fuzzy and was making things difficult. I decided to man the desk while Martin recorded acoustic guitar on it. I then recorded the trumpet part which I’m not sure if I’ll keep, I’ll decide come [...]

Friday kicked off with Peter and Ben playing a couple of very competitive games of pool while I cooked up a big breakfast using so eggs that I robbed from a clucking hen!
We hit the studio at 10.30 and Peter went into the recording booth to lay down the lead guitar on Something I Don’t [...]

Day 6 – Album Recording Session

January 25, 2010

Been a bit  slow getting this up, but the album is flying along. I spent Thursday morning laying acoustic guitar tracks down. On My Mind took longer then we’d expected as we layered different guitars over each other to give a big ambient sound.
Peter an Ben spent the an hour twiddling their thumbs before I [...]

January 21, 2010

Yesterday seemed like a normal day in the studio… Oh dear, I’m getting bored!
Not a bit of it!… Just that we had one song to track and Gary and Paddy did a great job, so I let them head home around 5.30 leaving me in the studio with the my guitar and no car. I [...]

Day 4 – Album Recording Session

January 20, 2010

With two more songs tracked, we hit the studio with an air of confidence and despite Gary’s snare causing us grief by dropping out of tune every few minutes, it didn’t take us long to get ‘Something I Don’t Know’ down, leaving us ample time to crack into ‘Water’s Edge’.
‘Water’s Edge’ has become a live [...]
