Ferry is constantly adding to his life experience. Here’s a shot of some mean perpendicular van parking outside the house we stayed in last night. p.s. thanks to Sophie for having us!

The band who provided the drum kit had to leave, so we couldn’t play. Apologies to all.

 

Here’s a pic of Toy Toy playing their set, which was tight!

On a lighter note, great day in the studio today. Rory’s got a brand new studio, which is great:

G from Speakers Corner Quartet came down help produce. Always good to have an extra set of ears, very happy with the way things are sounding.

 

March 2010 Studio Day One

 

March 2010 Studio Day 1

 

March 2010 Studio Day One

 

Tried out a new version of Can’t Be Saved.
