Recordings



Fits and Starts - Summer 2008



Fits and starts was recorded in June 2008, right after we got married and is a statement about all the things that were going on at the time. There are possibly more jazz influences in this one. It's been selling well and people seem to particularly like Avalanche and She's a keeper, which is for Zuzana.
It was also recorded live at Michal Senbauer's Sun Recordings studio in Prague.


Harder and Harder - Summer 2007


Harder and Harder was brought out in June 2007 and has been selling steadily ever since. It's a mixture of acoustic/delta blues and folk, but there's also jazz, afro and even techno influences in there too.
It was recorded live at Michal Senbauer's Sun Recordings studio in Prague and below are some videos made during the recording sessions.




Harder and Harder - The videos!

These are some videos made in the studio during the recording of Harder and Harder. Four of the eight tracks which appear on the CD feature on this playlist: You should see my true love ride, Herna Bar, Sell my soul and The sky is turning black.


Collaborations

This is a playlist of some collaborations with other musicians. There are two songs (The Junker and I put a spell on you) from Habrovka festival 2007 in Prague, which feature Kamil Nemec (drums) and Mayim Alpert (bass). The remaining songs are taken from a live studio recording made at Unicorn studios, Prague in Autumn 2007 with Matt Harris on drums.




Rhythm Glitch
This was something recorded in my home studio in Hackney, 2004, when I was laid up for six months with a badly broken leg after a cycle accident. You can hear the codeine in the mix! Much of this recording was influenced by the music going on in London at the time.
