Was back in the studio yesterday and today laying down the music (guitar, bass, drums & synths) for 10 more  Gold Digger tracks. Great to be back in the studio with sound engineer Steve Ellis. Funny to think that me and Steve used to come raving at this place back in 2000-01, before it got a [...]

That’s right people, the Gold Digger album ‘Get It Together’ as finally gone off to be pressed after just over 2 years in the making! My God has it been one hell of a journey getting to this point. I’m almost keeling over with relief. Along the way we’ve had to deal with numerous near catastrophes [...]

Aren’t mobile video phones amazing? You can now record anything you want in the name of digital expression.
Well, here is the gang expressing themselves after recording for a day at The Premises studio. There’s not much natter as we are knackered and slightly wired by the pots of coffee we have consumed all day. You [...]

Some recent footage of us down at The Premises. Dig daddio?

Our Top man Ray the photographer came down to The Premises recently to take some photos of the band before our gig at Water Rats. Here’s a selection of them – we’re thinking we should get a few of these into the inlay of the final album artwork.

A popular place! Even with the Hells Angels partying at their London [...]

Ok, so it’s not big or clever but it sure hell was a lot of fun!
When recording an album it’s always important to keep yourself occupied between takes whilst the studio technician works his magic. Here’s me grabbing a few tender moment with the guitar and doing this sort of free form explosion of ideas. [...]

Went over the the Moonhut on Friday to listen to the latest mix of the album. Results were brilliant. This can be a tense time for any band as each member begins to battle it out for their part in the spotlight. However, this time round there didn’t seem to be much to complain about [...]

Well, yet another chunk of time has been lost in the mixing of the ‘Get It Together’ album. I was supposed to be up in the studio both last night and today working on getting the final mix completed. Unfortunately, Steve, our Studio Engineer, had to leg it up to Nottingham to see his Dad [...]
