Another wee on Spotify today! Check out LYRE LYRE's debut album Gin and Strathspey, which we had the pleasure of mixing.

Remember it's Bandcamp Friday, meaning no fees for artists - Spotify is a great way to discover new music but really terrible rates of pay for artists!

A pigeon project from last year (wasn't that a great year?!).

We loved working on Laura Donnelly's strings - had a sneaky listen to the finished masterpiece last week and firmly believe our 35 followers should go out and buy 'Let Your Listening Be Wide' - it is out today! Beautiful songs and singing, as well as dreamy production from

You can even hear our pigeons flying past in the hall on Patsy's demo

Serious writing has commenced!!

December 👉 I have literally cleared the decks - no gigs, no traveling, no teaching, no cooking, done my accounts, deleted Facebook from my phone and it’s amazing how much more time there is in the day! The house is even tidy.

I have been commissioned to write a short piece for the Grit Orchestra, as part of The Declaration, which will be premiered at the opening night of Celtic Connections. Safe to say I’m excited and terrified in equal measure! 😝



It’s happening on the 16th January, get your tickets here...

Excited to try two lush viola accessories today in the studio and see how they fare!

Pirastro KorfkerRest
Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin

We’re recording Patsy Reid for Sarah MacNeil and Andrea Gobbi Music Production and think the shoulder rest makes her viola sound at least 25% louder and cleaner!
