Golden Hour Book Two (and CD!)

I’m very pleased to say that, having been asked to contribute a track a good few months back, I was pleasantly surprised to find a copy of the Golden Hour Book Two on my desk on Friday morning (I’m on the compilation CD, slipped into the back cover). The book is put out by the [...]

Fanfarlo / First Aid Kit Duet

I had the good fortune to record this duet with Fanfarlo and First Aid Kit (covering Devandra Benhart) at Field Day Festival, 1st August 2009. It was a gorgeous day (in between sporadic showers), and it was a perfect one-take, five minute shoot. Hope you enjoy! (courtesy of the day job, btw, with rockfeedback)

Wired Festival 2009

Then I remembered that other bit of the chanted spelling rhyme [...]

SXSW

I’ve not really talked about what I’ve been up to since starting at Rockfeedback. I suppose that ever-present excuse of busy-ness of the business could apply, but especially when the business is fun, I think the real excuse is the goodtimes spent in the world non-digital. So it’s been two weeks since my first big [...]

Goodbye to Cartoons, Hello to Rockfeedback TV

The past 11 months I’ve been on a vertical learning curve at Turner Broadcasting, more specifically the kids’ channels (Cartoon Network, Boomerang et al.) It’s been a hell of a ride… and now I’m upping roots for a very cool new job at RockFeedback TV. My main job there will be to look after the [...]
