Hello!
Because of the Covid-19 virus, we, like many other UK bands, have been unable to meet up and play together for the last eight months or so.
So we thought it might be fun to try and produce a track recorded remotely, with each band member playing and singing their parts over a click track and sending the resulting track stems to a single location to be added to a mix.
Easy!…………. we thought!
Well, as this was our very first attempt at such a project, it probably took longer than it should have, but never the less we finally managed to get the finished product completed .
We hope you enjoy our version of
IIIrd Tyme Out’s
“Cabin Creek Stone Mill Dam” (Lester Deaton)
For this track we are joined by our good friend and long time Down County Boy Mr.Dan Norton. Although four of the tracks went down “live” Dan’s Mandolin track was recorded remotely.
Just a little note of thanks to Leigh over at Hooson Guitars. The work carried out on my D18V was nothing short of superb!
Lots of work done on the bridge, a new bone nut, frets replaced (although looking at it you would never know) and a perfect set up.
Many thanks Leigh, It’s so good to have your guitar set up by someone who knows the genre of music and understands what is expected of the given instrument…………Perfect!
Mick Cooper.
Some work in progress pic’s of Chris Elson’s lovely old D28.
Time once again for a visit to the “Live Acoustic Special” in Loughborough, this time at a brand new venue. This is always a fun night and a chance for us to meet up with other musicians, singers and songwriters. All proceeds to Oxfam.
Thanks for the invite Howard, looking forward to it !
