Bank Cottage is a recording studio with exceptional equipment and a relaxed atmosphere. An hour and a half from Central London and an hour from Birmingham, the studio is located in a beautiful Cotswold village with a fantastic 16th century pub. Easily reachable from Oxford, Cheltenham, Evesham, Banbury, Witney, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, Leamington, Coventry, etc. For those coming from further afield there's a £20 a night B&B nearby. There's parking for 5+ cars and direct load-in. There are top-of-the-range microphones and gear for recording and mixing, there's a great separate bangy-sounding drum room, a grand piano, a Gibson Les Paul, and even a harpsichord.
I have a great track record of expert engineering and producing - recording and mixing many hit records in many genres. Additionally, I can program realistic sounding drum parts and have a library of great loops, loads of instruments, and if you want me to play cello, bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion, or even Liu Xin, or help out with song arrangements, then that's all included!

Hi George and everyone here. Hope you are all well and having a good 09. After a lot of huffing and puffing, we've finally extracted a new piece of audio fluff from the Softbodies shed so hope you all like it. With very best wishes.
I'm in the process of recording my teaching DVD, and will feature a study of the opening section to "Anthems" from the SJW album. Will send you a copy when it's all done!
