But it’s been a really great year, I’m so thankful to have worked on so many really great projects and I’m really excited about projects that are already booked in for the next few months. Hopefully they’ll be ending up in some end of year lists this time next year!

It’s fantastic/inspiring/encouraging to see so much music I worked on ending up on peoples ‘best of’ lists. It reflects the quality and diversity of talented people I’ve been fortunate to work with. It’s you guys that do all the hard work, creating something from nothing!

A huge thank you to all the bands, artists, engineers and labels for another truly great musical year and I hope to have as many great musical experiences next year!

Happy Christmas!

Rotund Iberian

Fountain Tesserae from Sea Pinks on Vimeo.

Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of the LP.

Golden Syrup was released! Nice to see lots of positive reactions to it.

There’s a stream up on Nialler9, but if you like it and have a turntable, do buy the vinyl, it sounds really great!

(or cd/download!)

Soundcloud streams are only 128kpbs mp3 and never sound that great.
