Start a new life
Sadly today I learned that a mate of mine, Shem McCauley, passed away over the weekend! I mixed his last album with him in my studio in Bangkok called “Start a new life”.

Hello 2012
Well…these are exciting times! We start 2012 full of hope and anticipation, but at the same time pushing thoughts of the apocalypse, according to the Myans and perhaps Nostradamus (the lost book theory), out of our minds. There is the Olympics to look forward to (if you like that sort of thing) if you intend being anywhere near … Continue reading
The Hunt For Jeff Williams
Last weekend I finally met up with my old band TaraZara after not seeing them all for 26 years! I had found Danielz a few years ago as he has always very findable through his work with T-Rextasy, and thanks to Facebook I recently found Bass player Mike Lever and then Andy Street, our original … Continue reading

Mastering Cassini’s Division
Ahhh! The finish line is in sight, my favourite feeling at the end of a great project. I am in Islington, London with my good friend Savas, playing “Ringside View” at a serious volume on big boy monitors and mastering the Cassini’s Division masterpiece! From Monday (when I deliver the album to the label) Cassini’s proper recordings (meaning produced) … Continue reading
Classic pop music
Dear diary, well now I am working with Robin Gibb and just loving it!! Most of the people I have worked with will bear witness that I have always pointed to the BeeGees as the ultimate example of genius pop song creation. It is only more proof to me that the secret is real and … Continue reading
