February 5, 2012 Busy, Busy, Busy!
So it has been a while since i’ve even considered a blog update. In this time i’ve had the pleasure of working with some great bands in the studio. I’ve produced the next single for Luna Kiss, tracked the debut album by CodeJak and also well underway in producing the debut LP for The Fighter Pilots. I’ve also been mixing Dangerous New Machine an exciting metal band from Georgia, USA.
This month is just as hectic. Including heading off on tour with “The South” (ex Beautiful South members) and also squeezing in the mixing of the CodeJak album, another single for The Kontours, more Fighter Pilots tracking and also a few days in Cardiff at Longwave studio’s to record by own bands debut LP drums and the drums for Flygone’s second EP.
My site and forum on Audio Production is also going to see some updates with some new video’s/reviews being added. The video tuition series i’ve been working on is also taking shape! www.audioproductiontips.com
There has also been some developments on an EP I did for Steel Threads, I am happy to announce that they have been signed to Rock Sector records on the back of it!
I am also looking to change the MP3 samples and add an equipment spec PDF on the site this month so keep on checking back 
November 25, 2011 Fozzy – European Tour
So I have just come back from a Eurooean tour with Fozzy. First off I want to say what a pleasure it was to tour with such a nice and committed band.
It was a nice change to be housed for the duration of the tour in a tour bus rather than the van and travel lodge solutions I am used to.
In the eleven dates outside of my hometown of Coventry, my highlights were definitely:
Brighton, Concord 2 – L’ Acoustic Arc system – Digidesign Profile, XTA processor and Waves Maxx Bass. Need I say more?
Berlin, White Trash – A sweaty little basement club with a small PA but it has a real history. Being Paul the bass players birthday we found out that their staff were well up for a few drinks after too!
I am looking forward to working with them again next year.

October 12, 2011 Works in progress
So this week I have been mastering some tracks for James Herring an absolutely brilliant, pop rock artist. If you like Snow Patrol this will definitely be for you.
I am also looking forward to starting work on mixing Unico’s remix of Labrynth’s – Earthquake. , Labrynth already loves this remix so much that he has posted it on his facebook wall so I can’t wait to make it sound even more epic.
Other news: Pre-production has started on Flygones next EP and I am at Coventry Kasbah on Monday engineering the Miles Kane show.
