I run a small studio set up from my studio in Tottenham. There is a live room with an upright piano and lots of instruments around to take advantage of. I am happy to do session work as part of our work together and a lot of people like to take advantage of that as I play double bass and can do guitar and 5 string banjo work.

 

My place is just right for acoustic bands, duos and trios but it's always best we discuss your needs on an individual basis as I work with each person to find the most comfortable and appropriate way to capture their sound. I have done larger bands here, I have tracked drums (I have a full kit here) and had people playing live with them in separate rooms, so nothing is beyond the realms of possibility, but I specialise in the more acoustic side of the music world.

 

People sometimes ask me to produce their records. I try not to take on that role alone but I am happy to co-produce with musicians and to chip in with ideas when appropriate. The Groanbox track on this page is from an album I co-produced with them (as well as engineered and recorded) and involved a degree of shaping in post production to create a more succint track out of a much longer jam session.

 

Of the tracks featured on this page, you can hear my banjo playing on the Smith, Byrnes, O'Sullivan track on this page, which also features my double bass playing, as does the Freddie Keen track. The Oscar Cainer track is one I wrote and performed on guitar and voice.
