Birthday love to the little guy! If only I could Birthday love to the little guy!

If only I could rock that Sherif Woody outfit, pirate hat and ballon accessory (or chew toy it appears) 💅🏻. Let alone having a guest list that includes Buzz Lightyear, Sven, Woody, Ham and all the ghostbusters.
More @samplemagic action available on @splice (oka More @samplemagic action available on @splice (okay, it’s been out short while now, I’m catching up!) So much fun getting out the vintage gear at someone else’s studio. 

Most remote stuff of late has been more of a pop / rock / country vibe. As much as I love recording anything , I miss doing more pocket / groove based material like this. Actually, kinda miss doing most things #2020

Livestream gig! An actual gig, 4th show in about 8 Livestream gig! An actual gig, 4th show in about 8 months. @smithandbrewer have been my gigging saviour AND a draught Guinness could not top this off better! @ploughshepreth venue with some serious thought into the stream set up. 
. Also shout out to the SM57 crotch mic, use this a lot as an emergency mic for monitoring myself at live shows to save catching a sound engineer for a little extra drums. (And studio to dial in some extra bite)

Little guy has his first kit!!! This Pearl Junior Little guy has his first kit!!! This Pearl Junior is perfect, scaled down kit for scaled down humans! His Mum thought it would a good idea to have it in the house (guess she is blissfully ignorant to the noise seeing my kits have been at my studio for years) 🥁 👶🏻 🔥

I, like many others have found all this shit tough I, like many others have found all this shit tough! One blessing is I have been fortunate enough to have my remote session running very well and gain a pretty full diary with online teaching. 3 gigs in nearly 8 months is the biggest punch in the gut. 

Social media has fully been at the back of my mind. I feel bad for those I’ve worked with for not posting to show gratitude to be working with such great people. 

BUT... This guy is what it’s all been about and with a new perspective on his importance in my life. He can now scoot, climb trees, take photos with me, cook together, dance together, he’s potty trained, his math is crazy good and he is just an amazing, silly and kind best friend. This, all over the past 8 months through the pandemic. 

Soppy post for sure but feels good to not have the anxiety of feeling I must post about my work through social media (not that I was much good at that anyway!) and just get on with it and still appreciate and thank those I’ve worked with on a personal level. 

Sure it’s been tough and stressful but appreciative I have had work though all this, but more grateful to have seen this guy so much more.
Overdue trip down to @rustydrumsltd the other day. Overdue trip down to @rustydrumsltd the other day. Amazing new place and always a pleasure seeing Mark, the loviest vintage drum porn dealer ever. Picked myself up a 402 to add to the hoards of vintage goodies I’ve got from Rusty over the years.

Shout out the @acscustom for the IEMs and thanks t Shout out the @acscustom for the IEMs and thanks to Gerry and Richard for the advice and service. Pleasure to be part of the family. I know I know... don’t exactly have lots of gigs booked BUT having tinnitus these have been great for long sessions in the studio for isolation and therefore to keep the volume down. I personally find them far more comfy than isolating cans too!

Managed to keep myself busy within lockdown, by fa Managed to keep myself busy within lockdown, by far mostly with the little guy (one blessing amongst all this), but also with teaching and recording at my studio. Been crap on social media though. So, here is the first project I recorded on during lockdown. The track “Penny and Me” for @livausten (produced, mixed and mastered by @jonwrightmusic ) gorgeous laid back EP
