We may have been quiet on here but we are mega busy behind the scenes (melting in the studio in this current heatwave - dreaming of an air conditioned studio 🥵)

We are currently mixing and mastering more tracks for the great local folk band Toadstone as well as a local folk/bluesy singer songwriter.

We have also been commissioned to write, record, mix & master songs for a project we can’t currently say too much about. We have also been recording for Scattered Dreams

Busy, Busy, busy and hot hot hot!
