Wednesday 10th Aug.
10am start today, we have finished all the guitars for now, including ‘Breakdown’ which was great fun, by far the heaviest Chris Tye track to date, I am loving the sound of it.
We also recorded all the vocals with the exception of ‘Blue Blue Sun’. To record the vocal takes I was positioned in between 2 very heavy curtains, this is great for that close intimate vocal sound but also means that you can lose your self in there and forget anyone else is listening, a nice vibe for vocals.
All the vocals went down in 4 hours, super quick (Tim working so fast suited me down to the ground, keeps everything fresh and eliminates those horrible stagnant periods you can often hit in studios.
After we finished at the studio I went straight to play at the Quadrant pub in Brighton. Had no idea what to expect, a guy called Kevin Murphy sorted me out with a few gigs while I’m down here.(From what I know of Kevin Murphy he is a great man. He just wants to help me, I’ve met him 4 times and 3 of those have been at gigs he has arrange and put me on the bill at a moments notice! he gave me a capo (a really good one) he doesn’t drink and he’s in a band called KATE from Brighton who are fucking unreal)….anyway the gig was amazing, tiny room and stage, just a great atmosphere for a Wednesday night. Thank Kev.
Picked up some mixer on the way back to my mate Ben’s and had a lovely big Jack Daniels nightcap.
