"Lazy" - Bristol Carling Academy

Here is a video of me performing with Lisa Lindley-Jones' band - the track is "Lazy" at the Carling Academy, Bristol.

Testing, Testing!

I have recently had a high-end microphone pickup system fitted to my Accordion - in no small part thanks to the lovely Lisa Lindley-Jones. The system houses 3 Sennheiser microphones on the Treble side and one on the Bass. Some clever micro-circuitry inside ties everything up to 2 volume knobs and an output jack - which, essentially, means that I now plug the instrument in exactly the same way one would an electric guitar. I have since purchased a Fishman Preamp to help EQ and compress the instrument, and the results are very promising! No more external microphones to be dealing with, which means a much stronger, more direct sound.

This is the first recording I have made with my 'new' instrument to test the sound quality. This is a quick bedroom recording and I am not a sound engineer, but I am very pleased with the immediate results and look forward to producing my original music in this manner. The song is "Le Banquet"... you may know it!

Tour pictures up!
