Interesting times at the studio - that's why we opened it...
We are just about entering our second year after the build of the new place and it seems life forever ago and just last week all at once. Spend too long thinking about it and my head turns to fog....
The Skullfox artwork is done and awaiting band approval - all songs will also be remastered prior to pressing - although they are still sounding hot after 2 months and a revisit - which is always pleasing :o)
Pete is just finishing his videos for Telegramme before moving onto some more artwork design for The Dreaming Tree.
We have our promoters in place to help us kill off the whole robbing BOTB concept from Autumn 2008 - keep watching.
Andy's recording of Evangeline's Easy Now went top 5 (from over 25, 000 acoustic songs) in some online acoustic charts whose name evades me at the mo but I'll look it up later - still....very nice for all concerned! :o)
Monday and Tue this week sees 60% of the legendary Nightingales in to pre-prep record new material before flying off to take it to the other band members - how cool a lifestyle does that sound?
Hidden in here is a huge congrats to Alex too....well done buddy.....I believe the contacts are signed today?
So now I am off on a week's holiday and you are all up to date. If anybody needs anything - call or e-mail the other 2 - but don't expect anything before midday - these guys are serious artists and should be treated as such!!!!! :o)
See you all soon.

.....we updated our studio montage....
We kinda knew that anyway but a warm welcome to the world to Ellen.
Simon (Producer) and Maria (top bird) went through a shattering 20 hours of induced labour before an emergency C-section finally did the trick. Mum, baby and Dad are all recovering. Ellen weighed in at a fully-cooked 7lb 11oz and we can't wait to see her.

Ah....Simon....THE Producer!
If he was any more laid back we would carry him into the control room on a stretcher. As easy to work with as they come, guiding without being over-bearing or opinionated he has a way of making any artist feel completely relaxed and at home.
Si is there to help you bring your band, thoughts and ideas to life in a way that totally represents your vision. However, if requested to he can also take them apart and bring them to life in ways you never dreamed of.
With a history that speaks for itself and a studio fit for someone of his abilities we are all happy.
He is also a bass player.....but we don't hold that against anybody as we are a completely non-discriminatory organisation...:o))))
