Sitcom mixing

Yesterday we started mixing the sitcom and I have to say I am a very happy man at the moment; 2 episodes nailed in the 7 and a bit hours. It feels like we actually recorded it ages ago, even though it was actually July, but finding the time to mix and do this project justice has always been an issue. Yesterday though I took the short trip down to Martin Randle's lovely cottage and we started work on it - the man's a genius, I'd like to think the raw materials we gave him in the first place was pretty good, but now it's tight, the ambiance of the whole piece is perfect, it has a nice energy to it, I'm buzzing and am pretty clear the whole radio thing is the way to go. We've mixed the first 2 instalments; 'Anna' and 'Text With The Ex' and should have another 2 done this Thursday, with the dramatic conclusion next week. This should all be ready for the launch in November, very exciting stuff.

Otherwise all still busy here, was in London on Friday to start work on a Christmas album with the brilliant Helen Arney, the album is called 'Darling, It's Going To Be An Awkward Christmas' and we've basically got about 5 weeks to write and record it but it seems to have started well, and I just need to nail the tour script for early November - it's called 'Robert's Room' and is taking shape nicely, but just a bit slowly and I sense the cast may be starting to get a bit worried about the timescale we're working to...
