Episode 4 / May 16 2008
I forgot to mention yesterday the new Big Arena Records podcast that features yours truly. So I’m doing it now – get yourselves over there and have a listen to episode 4.
And to the thousands of you that already have, I offer my deepest gratitude. It’s nice to have such a large audience.
Remember, I do [...]
Podcast Episode 3 / May 9 2008
It’s Thursday again and Thursday is Podcast Day – yay!
Episode 3, Season 1 of the Big Arena Records podcast is now on-line at their new website.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to you all for listening to my little show - which is known around here as the Davy Lawrence [...]
Napoleon Solo / May 2 2008
Episode 2 of the Big Arena Records weekly podcast is now online. This is the second one featuring yours truly, alone in the studio with my trusty acoustic.
I’m singing another song from the Enormous album Electric Baby Grand, a slightly less mettlesome track this time – a ballad, in fact: Things I Can’t Forget.
It is [...]
Podcast / April 27 2008
Big Arena Records are planning a launch party in ten weeks time to celebrate the label’s first official release, Electric Baby Grand, the first Enormous album. The album has been remastered and repackaged and we all think it’s a punky little gem.
They have asked me to do a short podcast each week leading up to [...]
Fun with Middle Eights / December 10 2007
Whilst working on Nelson’s new recordings last week, we came across a slight predicament with his use of middle eights.
Most of his songs include such things and, by and large, as his producer, I am happy for them to stay there. Also as his producer, I found it necessary to point out to him a [...]
Eye of Harmony / November 9 2007
For some odd reason, whenever I spend a few hours singing backing vocals, my right eye gets really sore and sometimes becomes slightly infected.
I spent most of yesterday evening recording a lower-third harmony to That Little Copycat – one of the songs destined for the new Enormous album. When I decided to wrap up the [...]
Smell the Gloves / September 16 2007
Work began in earnest yesterday on the new Enormous album which is provisionally titled Give the Boys a Great Big Hand.
We began the session by recording the backing tracks to That Girl Again and My Type – the latter being a well-loved, classic Enormous song, an earlier version of which appeared on our second album [...]
Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? / August 31 2007
Nelson returned to London yesterday. We have been working so hard on his new songs that the past week has absolutely flown by - so much so, in fact, that I have not been able to find even a minute in which to write a quick post.
Sitting writing this, alone in the house with Audrey, [...]
Half Nelson / August 19 2007
Nelson Galaxy’s acoustic album is now finished and will be on sale on the Big Arena Records label in October. Full details on the release will be available later.
In the meantime, you can hop over to Nelson’s MySpace site for a sneak preview and be one of the first people in the entire universe to [...]
Thank You Very Much / August 17 2007
It’s hard to believe that it is only 30 years since Elvis Presley died. It seems like yesterday. (Sigh.)
I was only a twinkle in my father’s eye when the famous singer shrugged off his mortal coil whilst trying to empty his bowels on a toilet in Memphis back then in ’77, but I remember it [...]
