Back with project-José , recording vocals & lead guitar for a co-written track. This is for a project that will take some months to complete, so stick around if you want to know more (eventually).
Perhaps it's because he's a close friend (or am I looking for excuses?), but I did no vocal warm-ups or guitar warm ups before this session AND IT SHOWED!
We got some great takes in the end though...

An absolutely incredible night - I joined Maddison Kent from Somerset, Michael Wack from Germany and the inimitable Simon and Sina - ie Barn 54 at the award winning venue, Percy's Cafe Bar for not just a gig, but Barn54's live album recording.
A stunning night - you had to be there!

We've been so busy working with just a few songs and their arrangements for recording that we arrived at Tom's Tap and Brew feeling pretty under-rehearsed.
The occasion was to support Tim Lee and his special night launching his beautiful new album - The Cuckoo Set.
Various "Yellas" joined him on stage for different songs including our Em who played - both live on the night and on the album itself, on the sad and stunningly beautiful title track.

Paradise.
One of the songs in particular actually transformed in today's session, from sounding more breezy straight-rock to gaining a much more punky approach than we were originally looking at, and we're loving it. We're loving it all.

Fox Barn Studios - Recording Day 1
A truly wonderful & significant day for us as we headed to Fox Barn Studios to work with producer Dan Logan for the 1st time in our band production seat since our debut EP All These Things Right Now.
On a fabulous spring day we recorded some tracks and met the local Emus!
We recorded 3 tracks live -the four of us playing all the main or rhythm parts on our instruments. Without vocals and lead guitar licks (to avoid leaking onto through the drum mics as we were all in the same room, playing together), it proved tricky for us all to keep track of where we were in the songs without these cues, but we got three nice vibey tracks in the end. Overdubs of vocals, backing vox, lead guitar and any additional percussion are to be added next week.
Top Day!
