So that’s the Summer gone and about 30 festivals later I’m shattered. I’ve been all over the place with The Demons, Kerfuffle, Spiers & Boden, AVLS and CV Audio, taking in Sidmouth, Cambridge, Whitby, Shrewsbury amongst others and even a day trip to Sardinia for a gig! Time to get cracking with more albums with Brooks Williams starting in a week or two and loads of other to finish and get on with including the new Demon Barbers album, the long awaited Rosie Doonan and Askew Sisters albums and much much more!!

We’re getting there, after several months hard work at Valve Studios, midlands based retro outfit, The Carnaby’s have finished tracking their new album and I am hurridly trying to get it mixed for their gigs this summer. We have gone for a real authentic sound and it has been great fun recording the old way! I’ll try and post the youtube video of my and Des’ argument about whether Gary Barlow is any good or not!

Fresh back from doing the sound for Uiscedwr Bigband at Cromer Folk on the Pier, I am already looking forward to Uiscedwr’ special feature on the Mike Harding Show on BBC Radio 2 on May 22nd. There will be an Interview with Anna and Cormac as well as 2 or 3 tracks played off the album I recently recorded for them, Fish Cat Door.

This week I’ll be going in to Wavelength Studios with Dan Cassidy and James Hickman to rattle off a demo for the album, which is to be recorded late on in the year. Dan, sister of Eva Cassidy, is a virtuoso fiddle player and I’m really looking forward to it.. Talking of virtuoso fiddlers, my week is filled with them as I will also be doing a quick demo for Sam Sweeney this week who is linking up with guitar wizard and beautiful songwriter Sam Carter. They me whilst Sam C supported Bellowhead on tour and they promise much for the future!

This year I have taken over the sound and technical aspect of the BBC Folk Awards - Best Live Act 2009 - The Demon Barbers. So if you see me out and about with them at the festivals please say hello, I’m also live sounding it with Kerfuffle. Damien and myself are busy researching ways in which to make the Band and Dancers more mobile whilst getting the sound right, so hopefully a nice new radio mic system will be heading out way soon!
