Spring Recording and the last few months...
Hey Hey Hey, Its been a while people. Sorry i have been off of the radar for last few months. I've taken some time away from shows for this year. My lovely Dad passed away at the end of 2018 and it felt like the right time to just do some writing and reflection away from playing live.Thanks to all the people who have sent me messages wishing me well, It means a lot. Although I've not been performing live we have been busy writing and recording for my Debut album which is due to be released Autumn 2019.
This has been one of the most exciting times musically putting together a list of songs to put down and record. March & April Was spend at Quiet Money studios with acclaimed producer and true gent James McMillan. 'Macca' has contributed so much to my songs in terms of arrangement and sound and The tracks sound HUGE! There's some old songs from the set list some of you may know along with a couple of never heard before tracks.
I can't wait for you lovely lot to hear them, more details will be coming along with some shows to coincide with it.
Playing on the album I've been lucky enough to have two of my best friends Jim Board and Dan Clifford on guitar and drums. Friends, gig buddies and Monday night football brothers, its been great creating this in the studio.
On Bass duties we have the extremely talented Jamie Thomas who we was lucky enough to come down and session making the album come together!
Lastly on keys, synths, programming and everything pretty we had James Mcmillan, his influence on this album can really be heard and helped me to bring the ideas to life.
Thank you guys for being a part of this, I couldn't have done it without you.
So that's it for now, keep ya eyes peeled for album announcements and the prospect of shows!
one love, JS x
