Studio Session: Albert Lee!

Studio session with Albert Lee!

A really exiting session in the studio last week! Delighted to have the famous guitarist Albert Lee play lead on 'The Painter'!

When I composed 'The Painter' two years ago, I had no idea that I would have such an iconic guitarist play on the track! Thanks to Albert, and also Tom and John for bass and keyboards!

I am next in the studio on the 13th August and will have alot to do. We will start off by going through each song and seeing what needs doing. For example: It may need backing vocals or I may need to sing the song again.

I now have a website, so please feel free to take a look!

Studio Session: Final song!

Studio Session: 15th July- Falling lies

On Sunday I recorded my final song 'Falling lies'. This turned out to be a heavy rock song. When I first wrote the song it had a completely different sound to what it has now. It's gone from quiet acoustic guitars to powerful electric guitars!

I have been recording since late November and have had so much fun in the studio! I only have a few more sessions to go, these will be for adding final vocals, backing vocals, added instruments and then the final mixing of the album! After all that my album will be finished!

An exiting session is coming up very soon! This will most likely be revealed in my next post which will be coming up soon, so please keep a look out for my next post!
