Hellooooo!

Yesterday we made two conclusive achievements:

1. Mike (Johnson) completed our first master

2. Jay finally won a game of darts against Michael

Back to work on Monday for all the artwork, paperwork, e.t.c that make it one step further to being donedonedone!

Have a glorious weekend all,

Jaywalkers

Mike (Johnson)'s cat, Tilly, joined us for a listen yesterday...

She promptly left when the fiddle kicked in.

Well! 

Today was our first day mixing the album - a long winded but exciting process as we're eventually getting to hear the tracks as final products now. 

But like any other day, this one started with the compulsory brew...

Mike (Johnson) has some very nice mugs that combine a large amounts of Jay's delights in life
(polka dots, cupcakes, tea ...)

Quick studio shot

A day of mixing meant a day of intense proof listening and picking out the levels that need tweaking before mastering...

NB. The lack of mandolin in Mike's hand leading him to mess with his locks

The tiring session left Mike either desperately hungry or mentally struggling...you decide...

We did, however, fit in a few games of darts at the end to recuperate our sanity in time for tomorrow. As expected, Mike got very good very quickly and won them all...

So, with a night of practising her aim for Jay and a night of playing with his mandolin instead of his hair for Mike; that is all until tomorrow!

Goodnight!

As planned, today we got the rest of Lucy's bass and vocals recorded ...

If anyone knows what track this is from this photo we'll be awfully impressed...

Having a little listen

BASS

Hope you all had a delightful weekend!

Afternoooooooon!

After a few days sorting things and a gig last night with the wonderful Gary and Vera Aspey, this morning we fought the Liverpool traffic for Lucy's first session at 101 Records.

Everything sounds better with a bass ...

To be continued...

Ey up!

Today we pretty much finished all our (Jay and Mike) parts ready for a weekend of adding Lucy's wonderfulness which, we like to think, warrants a large glass of wine.

Oops...we missed an instrument.

Mike (Johnson)'s doing a great job

Really getting rather exciting now that everything's coming together!
