Mixing madness

I’ve been pretty busy in the studio for the past week, with two albums getting finished off but they seem to be going well with the first one finished today. We have another busy night at the lot tonight, but I only have one more normal ceilidh week here before the festival ceilidhs start, and then Eilidh and myself will be off on tour.

Summer school

Its been a busy week last week or so. I was away teaching at Tinto summer School last week, a great week although pretty tiring especially as I had to come back after for a South Hall ceilidh on Friday, PA installation and gig on Sat and then a recording session at the studio on Sunday. At least I am getting a little time off today and very much enjoying it.

Sunshine could almost believe its summer

Its been getting a bit warm recently, I have even managed a little time to enjoy it over the past few weeks. Hope its nice next week as I’m going to be up at Tinto summer school teaching for the week.
I have even been managing to get out running a little in my strange 5 toe running shoes which I think are great even if I get a lot of strange looks

Crazy gigging weeks

Its been a little crazy for the past week or so, with 9 gigs in 10 days so feeling the need for a little rest, but I should get some time off tomorrow so starting to recover.
I went out buying new toys today and bought a new guitar amp. Its a vox night train head which looks a bit like a fancy toaster but sounds great and is lovely and small and light. Looking forward to getting it out for a few gigs at the weekend.

First blog in a while

I have just managed to get my mobile blogging working again so I can write my blog while at the ceilidh club again. Tradlab are playing the gig tonight and sounding good. I was hoping to have a day off tomorrow and go for a windsurf but it doesn’t look like there will be much wind so I might think about having a go at varnishing my new mandolin.
