DAY 9:

2nd day of the wk
guitars and vocals (it’s gonna be guitar and vocals all week)
again loads of fun! ‘we are righteous’ is sounding amazing!
we recorded the vocals for a song called ‘broken’ today, I think this is going to be a powerful song!
I'm really lovin the whole process!- my main hope is that the holy spirit is all over these songs

had a great dinner with Adrian, JB and Trev, we had a fab curry (I fink curry is becoming the meal of this recording)

I’m proper excited about the songs and the recording.
My hope is that these songs would touch peoples lives, set free the addicts, the captives, break the chains that hold people back and that people would realize who they are in christ and know that the same power that raised christ from the dead is within them!

DAY 8:

1st day of the main 2nd wk
worked on guitars and vocals - been loads of fun, trev has created some fantastic guitar sounds, we have an awesome whammy bar effect solo on ‘crying out’
the songs are sounding immense! - can’t wait for the world to hear them

DAY 7: recording bass

Was great to meet up with Adrian and Les for breakfast and then went to Trev’s
We had the fabulous Mark Prentice playing bass, this was awesome, Mark got all 10 tracks done, and his bass part for “glorious bride” is exceptionally impressive, bass players will really love it!
the songs are really taking shape!
Had a late long drive back to Liverpool in the rain, but so worth it!

DAY 4:

Today has been amazing! - the songs are coming alive! - Mr Tim Cooke was drumming! - He is a genius! - we’ve worked him hard today! managed to get 6 songs tracked and have enough time for a curry (is there pattern emerging here)
Again it’s been so much fun, Tim said I’m walking around with big cheesy grin. That’s cause I’m seeing the desires and promises God gave me 12 years ago coming to fruition.
I’m constantly feeling emotional and in awe of God.
He completely love’s his children and he wants us to fly.
The journey to get here has sometimes been really, really hard, there has been some dark valleys and I’m sure there will be more to come! But Our God is faithful! He is steadfast! He is with us! He is for us!
I’m having so much fun! - It’s gonna be amazing when the albums finished!
Glory be to God

DAY 3:

Tracked guitars for 2 of the demos from scratch, was fun,
I’ve always been a les paul man, but I was using a fender tele quite a bit today! (sorry Lee, but it sounds great) - I may be converting
Got down some vocals for a few tracks, this was really good fun, it was V warm
I have to say I’ve had an amazing so far. It’s been fab working with Trev! He is a great guy!
enjoying every minute!
I’m constantly thanking God for this opportunity! - Our God is so faithful!

DAY 2:

Another hot day in sunny Eastbourne!
Listened through the demo arrangements, for the 7 songs, changed a few little parts. started work on the 3 demos from scratch (inc a new version of ‘desperate’), working out arrangement and ideas. added some dodgy guide vocals.
Finished the evening with a curry with Trev and his wife Rach.
