Today is National Diabetes Day so I wanted to share something I made last year.

Some dear friends of mine have three really wonderful kids, the eldest of which is an absolutely enchanting girl called Bella. A big sports fan she is the definition of go go go, never has a minute to spare 1/7
The "TRAILER STARTS NOW" pre-trailer stings are one of the most useless and irritating things about the internet.

I bloody love the Facebook marketplace algorithm.

Choices will be made here this day.

I am an absolute sucker for a good film poster tagline, and "Time Didn't Heal Anything" gives me the exact right feeling for this film. Hyped.

It's that time of year again where everyone is repeatedly saying "it's that time of year again."

They will blame banks for literally anything these days...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when you’re on a deadline and you get into that wonderful rhythm of working into the night where everything is flowing nicely, THIS takes the ever loving piss.

New hoover arrived and bloody hell. What a machine.

Dining room looks brand new.
Cat's dissapeared.
Came with this attachment and a grey jumpsuit but not sure what that's about haven't read the manual yet.

To the builder next door who got quite a sight when I opened the door in my partner’s dressing gown out of sheer excitement when I thought my new Shark vacuum had arrived (it hadn’t):

my eyes are up here 👆

Just found out that Superman in Superman and Lois, is the little boy from Road to Perdition and I feel like I'm in an alternate time dimension.

Went to the shops for milk and eggs. Came back with neither milk nor eggs, but a tiny piano, a tamagotchi and Bookends and Can’t Buy a Thrill on vinyl.

That feeling when you break the back of a tricky arrangement is incredibly satisfying.

I assume.

Unashamedly nicked a Thanksgiving meme and did a British on it you're welcome earth.

To all those who saw my pinned post and gave my record "Brave" a spin for diabetes, my sincere thanks. It just jumped to a thousand streams within the last few days.

If you haven't already and have a few moments on your morning commute, check it out and make sure you have a wonderful day 🎶

Keep buying all these gadgets to make my kitchen more efficient but no matter how many times I organise the drawer it always seems to get full again…

Your studio assistants will be better at pro tools, and I guarantee you don’t stop what you’re doing to give them cuddles as much as I do with mine.

I've been a bit quiet this week because it's crunch time. Making a few upgrades to the studio that I'll be sharing, but in the mean time a pigeon just landed at the studio window with such a loud flap that I shrieked and threw half a pint of water over myself.

Happy Wednesday folks 🕊️

Stumbled upon an outfit choice today that can really only be described as “Jazz Pirate”.

Hardly new news but I have been saying it since I was six years old - Feathers McGraw is the most evil thing to ever happen to cinema, and I will be accepting no notes at this time.

What a wonderful week at the studio with much noise made and many laughs had.

Weekending it up a storm, including a wine tasting, charity shop shopping (my favourite) cooking up some lovely fresh fish, and nineties trivial pursuit 👌

That’s a wrap 🎁

Three days of making as much noise as three lads of varying heights can manage, and it sounds bloody huge.

This one was great fun, a lot of work but it was planned meticulously and everyone knew what they were after 🕺

Looking forward to sharing the results 🎶

Deafening everyone in Cheshire this morning 🎸

Five songs, one video, many laughs and several costume changes.

I’m done in. Overdubs tomorrow. Wine.
November 20, 2024 at 6:08 PM
Nope.
November 20, 2024 at 1:37 PM
Good morning all. Up and ready for a full day of bonk, thwack, tsch, BWAAAAAMM, hoo hee, to give it it's technical name.

Great day sound checking and tracking super loud good stuff in preparation for recording and video production over the next two days.

Now though, it’s time to get cooking.
