Hi all

Jus a few diary notes from Eastbourne.

The band started to arrive at ICC early last night (John and Matt arrived close to 1ish).  Keith is due to join us on Wed morning to add vocals.

After a restless night and a continental breakfast all assembled in Studio 1 for setup and sound check, where Matt's cymbal fetish really became apparent.  After nearly an hour of microphone setup the drum kit was ready.

Under the watchful eye of Mark (engineer on Signs re-master) & Neil the band has started laying tracks.

More later…

Morning

After a few hours drumming we had enough material for the project.

We finally got some tea at around 11pm in a wonderful Balti house, recommended by Bruce Pont (big guy from Psalm Drummers) - good shout Bruce.

8am and time for me to prepair breakfast and get them all ready for 9am - "Matt, get off the playstation!". 

All fed & watered, back into the studio.....

Keith arrived and started laying down vocals.  All yesterdays hard work is really paying off.



Ian said he was kept awake by snoring last night - funny, I was in the same room and I did'nt hear it!



Just re-write everything...



then back behind the glass screen.  Take 2...

Captain's and engines not included.

The morning after.

Listening to the tracks in the cold light of a Devizes morning I am still in awe of what the band have achieved over the past few days.  Well done boys!!

You will all hear the results soon enough.
