So many plans, so little time!


Well I have finally managed to update my website with some more recent recordings and reviews! Check out new songs from The Ambience, Chutes, Rubys Wishes and Elephants on www.anchorbabyrecordings.com

The coming months are looking to be very busy, with brand new EP's from amazing Brighton band PHORIA and Folkestone lads MAGNETS, a gospel album coming in from highly skilled MD IRA JACKSON, the start of a mini album from folk/jazz/whatever artist BERNARD EVELEIGH, a two-tracker from GREAT ANCESTORS and loads more to be announced!

I'm getting into a lot more location recording recently, and am always on the lookout for cool spaces to use. So if you have a very dead sounding room, or a very lively sounding room, or access to a church or cool sounding space please drop me an e-mail at anchorbabyrecordings@live.co.uk

I am currently looking for a CHURCH HALL to use for recording some drum parts and ambient guitar/vocal parts on the new PHORIA and MAGNETS records, please get in touch if you know of any!

I have recently managed to obtain a bundle of URS plugins, which I can highly recommend, they sound absolutely AMAZING and since their discovery I have barely touched my Waves bundle (aside from the Waves SSL buss compressor, which I swear by across the mix). So any future recordings will feature the sound of URS, see how different they are to my current mixes!

So recent activity around Anchor Baby includes a cool band coming in by the name of The Taints, pictured at the top of the page, outside the studio - Like the Libertines with a kind of Sheffield sound too! And this coming Sunday an acoustic live session from Ruby's Wishes on KMFM, to be broadcast at 1:20pm and also a short interview with myself and the band! Make sure you tune in!

On top of all of the above, I have now been asked to join Tener Duende, the Folkestone based Gypsy Jazz/Flamenco trio as their bass player, to replace the amazingly skilled Chester Boyd who is off to Uni in September. So lots of practising to do!
