Bucks of Oranmore and Gravel Walks
This is a medley of two Irish tunes I did back in 2001, I recorded once with a click and then went back and did the 2nd guitar. Can’t recall if I did rhythm or lead first though? Probably worth knowing if I’m to ever try that kind of thing again!
Final mixing of 2016’s work is underway!
I was up with Al Cowen in Sonic today and we did the final mixes for the album recorded last year and now he’s going to master them up and soon they ought to be available in the usual places where nobody will find them 🙂
It has been a good experience so far and I’m delighted with the song choices, there will be more albums to follow shortly (in part because I have nearly an album of work ready from my Jody Smith sessions in 2014 that just need some work).
Anyway, hope the feedback is good.
