It's Christmas!!


That's right! Love it or hate it, it's on the doorstep. Sorry for not updating too often, I've just been really busy (which can only be a good thing right?!) But for me, Christmas this year means being whisked away to the middle of nowhere to record with the absolutely fantabulous Matt Stalker and Fables. We are heading off to Allenheads, Northumberland to record the bulk of their second album, "Knots" and you can follow all the news on that by following the blog at http://wealltieourselvesinknots.tumblr.com/ . I'll be in the middle of nowhere just surrounded by my recording gear, and some amazing talent. I couldn't be happier.

Also, the lovely Meghann Clancy's new album "Take Flight" is finally finished, and will be ready to order digitally and as a physical copy from http://www.meghannclancy.co.uk as of Monday 10th December. We spent a lot of time on this one, and I also play electric bass on the album. You can hear some samples on Amazon by clicking here

Hmm what else has been cooking? Well, I've been working behind the scenes with Vinyl Jacket on some new demos... They have definitely upped their game songwriting-wise, but unfortunately these demos will probably not see the light of day for the general public. Hopefully they'll want to release one or two one day, but for now they will stay locked in the vault and I can release them 50 years from now and make myself some nice retirement money ;) Also, the very first song we ever worked on together, "Got The Badge" made it's debut on network television, on the show "Hollyoaks" on Channel 4. I'm sure many of us have fond memories of being students and watching that show, and to hear them play the entire song was certainly quite nice.

Following on from that, I have been working on some new BoxBoxBox tunes from Greg Genre, and you can hear them in the player below. I also saw him play live for the first time last week, and what an experience! Certainly a very unique line up timbre-wise, and also just great fun to watch!




Down at BaseHQ, I have been working on a couple of projects including a new Victory Mansions single, which is close to being completed, and some recordings from Newcastle band Revolver, and you can hear one of the tracks from that upcoming disc here:




Away from production, I've been gigging a lot more with my original band The Juggernaut Love Band, and we recently played a great gig at Hoochie Coochie in Newcastle. We're back there in the new year so you can keep an eye out for that, by either following us on twittier @Jugloveband or joining the facebook page at

Thanks for reading if you made it this far, and have a great christmas!
