It feels good to finally release one of the tracks that Donné Restom and myself have been working on over the last few years.
It’s been such a fulfilling experience writing and recording with Don! We’ve taken our time and I’m glad we have.
I played and recorded all the instruments (except drums and strings) in my home studio, arranged and recorded the strings which were played beautifully by Oliver Miller (cello) and James Eccles (viola).
Drums were played/recorded by Evan Mannell at his home studio, SO GOOD EV!
'Great Circle' is mixed by the one and only Lee Groves and mastered by Michael Lynch.
Cinematography by Eddie James shooting on 8mm and 35mm film!
Enjoy!
Donnè Restom and me had a great day recording two of my string arrangements for Donne’s upcoming album. Ollie Miller on Cello and James Eccles on Viola. It’s very very cool seeing this music coming together!
Started tracking drums today with Evan Mannell for Donné Restoms new album. Sounding great!
A great first day back in in the studio with The Parade getting started on our new album!

This is a little vid from a gig that my mate James Hauptmann has started at Bardwell Valley Golf Club called The Mulligans. The last one with Ray Beadle, Clayton Doley, James and myself was AWESOME!

We will hopefully be back before too long.
