Recently, I’ve seen an upturn in interest for my domain. After 25 years I’ve grown used to receiving offers, and usually get an email every couple of months. This past month I’ve been getting a few a week.

The Elliott Smith track that Emily and I contributed to earlier in the year has been released as part of a compilation album by the excellent START-TRACK blog/label.

A new video in Carl’s Guitars of Daysdream series. This one was really tight, with only 8 bars to play with and quite a lot going on already, so I didn’t really want to introduce something that sounded too different to everything else on the track for such a short space of time.

Elliott Smith is one of my favourite artists, so I was really chuffed to be given the opportunity to work with Seadog on their version of Waltz #1, adding a three-part saxophone arrangement towards the end of the track. I’m playing Baritone and Tenor, with my daughter Emily on Alto.

Carl from The Shop Window has been running a series of videos on YouTube giving a behind-the-scenes peek at how he builds some of the lush guitar tones on the Daysdream album.

Great to see that The Shop Window has been featured in the print issue of The Big Takeover magazine!
