Recording the new CD: end of session 1
Well, we got quite a bit done today – 6 beds down, we’ll do the remaining 2 tomorrow and then the overdubs.

The New CD: Session 1: 8am in the studio
So after much changing of schedules we finally roll into John Critchley’s Green Door studios today at 8am. Mark C is there now loading the drums in and starting to develop the drum sounds. I’ll be getting there in a bit (it’s just down the street from me).
Many thanks go out to John for putting [...]
Guns N Roses are back?
Well,
The Axl Rose solo band have finally decided to start paying some of their bills, rather than continuing to live with the distinction of most downloaded, and watched on YouTube, for free. As a fan from the days before Appetite for Destruction was a hit record, let me be straight. All those who [...]

Theatre Music – not rock and roll, but close
One of the side interests I have when the Hookers aren’t kicking out the jams, as they say, is writing music for films and theatre.
This week, I’ll be providing music for another RJ Downes / K. Malek production Death to Dating appearing in Alumnae Theatre’s New Ideas Festival.
