We have finished the Mixing on Linda Tolchards new album "Wild Rose" It is a great collection of Celtic favorites with a couple of more contemporary tracks to add a bit of contrast. We are really pleased with the final product, as is Linda. thanks to Jon Astley at http://closetotheedge.biz/ for his mastering skills. Linda was selected by BBC Radio Lancashire to perform live on the John Gillmore show. A great performance by Linda and her band, and the first time the BBC had had a £25000 harp in the theater. Great broadcast sound courtesy of Chris and the rest of the John Gillmore crew. If you want to hear the concert it is still available on BBC I Player for a couple more weeks just look for radio Lancashire and the John Gillmore show. Here are a few Pics of the day.

Live Sound For Gretchen Peters Feb 7th 2015 at Hellens Big Barn

February 7th We are pleased to be providing the PA for Gretchen Peters at Hellens Big barn as part of her UK 20th anniversary tour.
It sold out about a month ago, we are really looking forward to it.

Since the release of her “career album” (NPR), 2012’s Hello Cruel World, two-time Grammy nominee Gretchen Peters has been in near-constant motion, touring for the past two years and releasing a live DVD and CD, Woman On The Wheel, in early 2013. Since 2012 she’s appeared at the Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Cambridge Folk Festivals; and in addition to headlining her own sold-out tours, she’s supported country and folk legends Guy Clark, Arlo Guthrie and John Prine (duetting with the latter at several shows).
The latest accolade for the Nashville-based singer-songwriter will be her induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2014. There she’ll join the list of 192 existing inductees which includes Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Don & Phil Everly, Woody Guthrie, Merle Haggard, Tom T. Hall, Harlan Howard, Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Jimmy Webb and Hank Williams.

Recording Aisa Ijiri at St Georges Hall, Bristol November 5th 2015

We have just completed another recording of a recital for the supremely talented concert Pianist Aisa Ijiri. This was a lovely acoustic to record in, and also a very good sounding Steinway D concert Grand piano. We used 2 mixing techniques, our old standard for piano mixing a spaced pair of DPA omni 4006 mics not too close in, so as to capture some room acoustic. The other was an ORTF stereo configuration using Schoeps CMC5's with cardioid capsules. A lovely sound was achieved, but why oh why do people not turn their phones off or onto silence, as we found out during the last 10 seconds of the performance! The repertoire consisted of Music of Bach/Liszt, Chopin and Prokofiev.
Thankyou to Gordon Fergus-Thompson and Aisa for the very welcome sustenance after the concert!
