Video for 'A Spring of Teal' finished!

We shot a video, cut it, liked it for a brief moment or two - probably because it was our first effort and we were excited - then decided it was pants. And it was (is, but it won't see the light of day)!

So we shot part of another one which was good - including the amazing sculptural look of massive wind turbines and a trio of me!

But it was only the first half of the video. So we shot the rest of it on the beach and that was good, too. The thing is we are a three piece and I was the only bod in it ... which is not good for a first 'band' video.

So we all went back to the beach on a sunny sunny day and had fun. Now we were cooking! And after a few hours editing said video was complete.

Check it out! A Spring of Teal - video

Final Push

Fingers crossed, this week sees the end to the recording. We've got all the tracks at the 'close to final mix' stage and now it remains to get us all together and tweak them.

Then it's off to the mastering house ... which, no doubt, is going to cause yet another row. Mastering is expensive, but vital. Yet who do you go to? I quite like the sound of 'Streaky'. I don't know him - but he has mastered for Kasabian. Then there's 'Swift'. I don't know them either. It's all bit of a lottery.

The title - at present - is 'Dealing With Liquids.' Don't ask me why, it's Mick's idea - though it's growing on me. The cover is close to done. All except the blurb for the inside. And then there's the question of lyrics. Do people still like to read lyrics?

Then we have to get the IRSC track numbers and find a good place to have the CDs replicated. It's going to be hideously expensive but worth it!
