What an honour to sing with these guys! &nbsp; Will be posting more info on my NYC travels here soon!

Also to our Engineer Hadyn Buxton, who was the captain of the ship and did a fantastic job in steering us on the right direction And thankyou to all the members of the band, whose musicality and laughter was infectious and made the experience so memorable for my first ever album!!

The band absolutely killed it, and despite also having to set up all the gear and mics etc, we managed to record 6/10 tunes! So tomorrow should be another great day, and give us the chances to have some more takes at tunes we want to take in different directions or tighten up! So here are a few happy snaps...with more to follow! Stay Tuned! Luke being awesome at piano/arranging/life The insane Neve desk at Sing Sing Studios The hallowed entrance! &nbsp; &nbsp;
