2014 has been a fun year here in the world of online guitar sessions. Here’s what was going to be a quick round up but has ended up being a sort of digest of my working year. Pimp my rig Fun stuff first – new guitars. The biggest, most inspiring thing as far as I’m concerned […]

Arranging and tracking vocals all weekend with the sublime @danielle.nicholls2019. After experimenting with a Bock 195 we settled on the Shinybox 46 Lundahl ribbon mic through a @ams_Neve 8801 pre with a bit of a top end lift. Lush. Can’t wait to mix these two tracks. Safe trip back to Wales D! #producer #vocals #microphone #preamp #recording #ribbonmic #studio #singer #
Went to Ireland, got brief mandolin lesson from Irish folk muso. Confession: I can’t tell the difference between Guinness and Beamish (didn’t mention it to this guy). #ireland #music #traditionalmusic #folk #stout #iplayabitofguitar #stillcantplaymando
Dublin for a half gig, half city break with the (half) boss. Ryanair have upgraded us to row 25 so feeling pretty special. #blessed #bossten
One year since Liv’s A Moment Of Your Time was released, and it’s been a collection of beautiful moments ever since. Happy albiversary. @livausten #amomentofyourtime #music #hot

Huge thanks to @acscustom. I’ve been using their IEMs for many years and am in love with the sound and most importantly, the comfort. Like most IEMs they tend to need a service now and again - especially when they’re sweated into and thrown around a bit - but ACS have been so reasonable and I’ve just received this brand new set of triple driver moulds, built to their latest spec and with the new cable, as a warranty repair. #IEM #headphones #hifi #customerserviceheros #musician #getinmaears
With @kateatonmusic I did at gig at West Ham’s new ground and met Christian Dailly, who was very nice. Like me, Christian played mostly central defence, but was extremely versatile and played in most outfield positions. Like Christian, I play a bit of guitar. Lovely day. #footie #utilityplayer #guitar #acoustic #hammers

What a beautiful night! The acerbic wit and sublime melancholy of @thebeverleycraven, the beautiful, immaculate delivery of the string quartet (feat. @Lucy.j.morgan and @gabriellaswallow), Bev’s wonderful arrangements, the thigh-slapping ribaldry and heavy-hitting saxophony of Frank Mead and a very special cameo from @judetzuke. Sold out show at Dorchester Corn Exchange and such a joy to be part of. #guitarist #stringquartet #womantowoman #promisemeyoullmakethetea
