21st July, 2009: I've been
awarded a Visiting Professorship at Leeds College
of Music for "having shown distinction in an area
of professional practice and having developed an
international profile in the field of music
production". I wonder if I'll get to wear one of
those gowns and a mortar board....?
11th February, 2010: At the
annual Awards event of the Music Producer's
Guild (UK) I was presented with the award
for Recording Engineer of the
Year, and another one for Best
Live Album - "Astral Weeks, Live at the
Hollywood Bowl" by Van Morrison. I am truly
honoured!
There are press coverage reports for the whole event, which celebrated the work of many of the UK's producers and engineers, on the MPG website.

8th April, 2010: Almost
finished two new tracks for Ariel
Archer. All the recording and Pro Tools
work is done - they just need the magic of the mix.
Should be done by mid-May.
22nd April, 2010: Mixing
the new album for Lloyd Cole - his
first with a real band for ages - and great
musicians they are too - great feel, spontaneity
and good arrangements.
