October 20-21 back in the studio




At 9am on Saturday 20th October the three McCormick Sisters met with Jamie "jampottt" Donnelly at Middlesbrough College and began working on two songs, "Girl I Knew Before" (as it must be known) and "Make it Count"


Guitar, bass and vocal guide recorded first onto a click track. Then Hughie recorded the drum track. He later added congas and tambourine. I recorded bass, acoustic guitar and part of the power chords that open the track on Ste's Telecaster. Ste recorded various electrics and acoustics.







All this went on until around 4pm.

The next morning the three of them reconvened (I was sleeping) and Ste added vocals.



There was quite a bit of footage shot while we were there too. Some of it will no doubt end up in the next couple of videos. In the meantime:

As rejected by Level. I get it, though…..that they don’t get it, that is.
I also get it if you don't get it.


The worst thing is, there’s more to come.
