Late Junction again, twice and a new recording device

This week, late on in the evening and sitting cosy round the wood burner in the truck, I heard Orla Wren played two nights in a row by Verity Sharp on LATE JUNCTION !!! I was pretty chuffed on my last blog but would have to admit to being even more chuffed this time, so much so I burnt the midnight toast !
The shows are still available to listen to if you are quick ... tuesday's show is here and wednesday's show is here
Once again, thank you very much to Verity.


The new Orla Wren album has begun and already has an offer from a great label, so I have been collecting new sounds for a while now but recently I got hold of an incredible new portable recording device ... the SONY PCM-D50 ... aquired, barely used and at 'mates rate' from Rima's brother Jan Staines.
For the last album I used two AKG 3000B mics for most things but also used an M-AUDIO microtrack for field recording and 'quick' sessions. The PCM-D50 blows away anything that I have used before and I reckon that I could happily record most things with it and not bother with the AKG's anymore :)
Cheers Jan !

All the best
