Studio Time

Is this mic on? Yes, yes it is.

When I first asked The Mountain High to play a show with me for my 40th, that was all it was going be.  A chance to make some music together, but more importantly for me, to make music that put me centre stage for one night only.  All girl songs, as I like to call them, all night.  No crappy, sappy KTV ballads allowed.

When you have talented friends who love you, however, a simple plan can end up plus sized.  Chris Hawke had, as usual, an idea. A big one.  And also as per usual he convinced Paul and Kirk that it was both achievable and they would somehow love to spend hours doing it for nothing but the sake of doing it.  The idea was to record an EP of songs I enjoy doing, the way I wanted to do them, to launch at my birthday.  Paul has a home studio, Kirk and Chris were willing to put in the time.  Was I interested?

I said yes.

After a session in June and another in September, a couple of days work from Chris and Kirk to add instrumental tracks, and some hard graft by Paul the final mixes are in the works.  This beautiful gift to my friends and family who live far away or just never seem to be where I end up singing is almost done.  It's a record of where I am today, and the people who helped me do that.  Once the final drafts are done I will upload them here.  Stay tuned.
