Album number two!
Hello everyone…
It is about time for another update I think! We have just finished recording the second album in the wonderful Rockfield Studios; right smack in the middle of the rolling Welsh countryside.. For those of you who haven’t heard of Rockfield, it has been around since 1962 and lots of great names have played here, mostly rock bands like Black Sabbath, Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody was recorded here!!), Robert Plant, etc… So it’s all very exciting for us! The sound quality is incredible and definitely made our job easier, which was great seeing as we only had four days to record 14 songs! Thankfully, we were well rehearsed and had already played most of the songs in our gigs so things moved along pretty swiftly with only a few minor adjustments.
It’s definitely an album to be proud of and excited about, John Hoare took the role of producer and did a fantastic job, as did all the guys in the band who were amazing and made swift work of all the songs. The sound is very different to the previous album, the result of a very enjoyable and fruitful collaboration with John Hoare and his quartet; I can’t wait for more! We plan to release it in England and Europe in Febuary next year and hopefully by this December in the Philippines if we can get it all done in good time, so keep an ear out…
Not many more gigs coming up for the end of this year as you can see, as I will be studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama for a year’s postgraduate Jazz Studies course. However, tours are being planned for next year in the slots where I have some time off school… Keep an eye on the website to find out what’s going on!
