Bonjour, mon Cœur

A story of Ed and his wife Kitty Wilkins in 1916, Ed’s volunteering for Kitchener’s new army and his journey to the Somme. The story starts and finishes in the present day, with a strong message of Remembrance for today’s generations. A one act play of around 65 minutes in length, eleven original songs linked together through a storyline of either narration or acting.

Starting in 1973 I kitted out a van with a TEAC 4 track tape deck and one of the first Allen and Heath 16 into 8 mixing desks then went on the road recording gigs in venues around the country- from small pubs like the Nags Head in High Wycombe, to The Rainbow in London. In 1975 it found a permanent home in Reading to house one of the first 8 track studios outside London. Here luminaries from many genres recorded and rehearsed their material. Notable names included New Seekers, Brotherhood of Man , XTC, Van Morrison, Vinegar Joe, Jasper Carrot, Fred Wedlock, Stadium Dogs, The Vibrators, Joe Brown and the Brothers, Kenny Lynch, Bamber Gascoignet and Rowan Atkinson to name drop just a few….

Throughout the ’80s I concentrated on post production and manufacturing with Sounds Good. With the advent of digital recording DAT became the standard for masters. I developed a system with Nimbus (now Technicolor) that allowed CDs to be mastered direct from DAT rather than the very expensive Sony 1640 tapes that were then in use. This allowed Sounds Good to become one of the bigger names in manufacturing, Sounds Good still works with Technicolor.

Since 2008 I have been returning to my original love of recording using modern digital methods. Preferring the traditional methods of stereo recording but not afraid of the gentle use of equalization and compression where necessary to ensure the listening experience matches the live performance.
