The Toerag Sessions

In January 2015, I made a live album direct to tape at the legendary analogue 'Toerag Studios' in East London. It's an entirely solo album. Just me, my guitar, my harmonica, and a selection of songs from all the albums I’ve released plus a new song to boot. Here are some snaps I took in the studio as well as some taken by my professional photographer friend, Ben Morse, who provided the photos for the album artwork. http://smarturl.it/TheToeragSessions

For #TheToeragSessions I hired a beautiful 1937 #Gibson L-00 #acoustic and fell so hard in love, that I had to sell another guitar to buy her. Here's also the 1/4" tape we recorded to...

And here's the list of songs I worked through... Ended up recording 16 songs in 2 days live to tape #analogue #recording
