So, the last couple of months have gone by way too fast for my liking. The Christmas period has come and gone and we are already fast into a new year of 2014. As I still remain strong to my passion for music; playing open mics and recording, I've been doing a considerable amount of work for The British Heart Foundation. Before I started working for them as a volunteer, I was sent there by the JobCenter as a work placement and I do quite enjoy it, still, at least this keeps me on my toes as I no longer have a schedule to keep to. 

In regards to recording, between the 21st and 25th of December I managed to record a Christmas song... in which I sang. I was quite impressed with myself that I managed to get the whole recording finished but, I will definitely have to redo the vocals, some other instruments and render the mix.

Here is a link to the track:

 For now I'm happy. I made this possible with the layering technique I use a lot recently, it comes in handy when you are the only musician around and when you have a very basic studio setup even though, I still believe the quality that I produce at now is fairly good and only getting better! I have been recording things like this for about a year now, which has gone incredibly fast but, I'm so proud of what I've been able to make and a achieve with the equipment I use.

Also, my band. How can I forget my blessed band Zebra Crossing! We have had a bit of a ride over the last month. In early December we decided to kick out our old drummer, of course leaving us drummerless. This made gigging feel a little tedious for me; being a bass player. The good news is that we now have a new drummer, whom I found and trust more to do a great job. I can't wait to have the whole band play at The Maze, Nottingham at the CHAOS WARS! (Battle of the Bands Heats) and then at The Navigation in early February (see image)
