Thankyou for the old sounds!


It is with great sadness that I announce this:

Elephants, one of the few local bands who have made an impact on the national music scene have decided to call it a day. They have done very well these last two years with slots at the Radio 1 Big Weekend, two BBC Maida Vale sessions and numerous tours and showcases.

A 'Farewell' EP is currently being mixed by me, having also been recorded and produced by me at Anchor Baby. The aim is to get this ready for the bands final show at Tinseldayer II on December 18th - THE best local music event this year!

In other news, I have had more great bands in the studio over the last month or so in the form of Blue Train, Surgery Without Research and the VERY WELL REHEARSED function band Counterfeit Notes! I have also had the pleasure of recording a pianist who played for the Queen for 11 years!

November and December are looking exciting, with album demo's from Cats and Cats and Cats, a new EP from Bellingo, the Elephants farewell EP and the brand spanking new single from local punk supergroup ;) FUCK THAT!

I am also selling a guitar amp head (pictured!). It's a Selmer Treble n' Bass SV series 50watt valve head - from 1973. It has the original valves in it, and has recently be re-finished in silver tolex, so it looks amazing!

These amps are fast becoming collectors items and are being sold on E-Bay for anywhere up to £500. I am asking £400 for this one as it's immaculate. If anybody is interested please e-mail me via the website www.anchorbabyrecordings.com
