23/11/2021
2 years ago yesterday I put in my last ever shift at the BBC, and vowed to spend my time being even more involved in the world of music and audio.
Then the pandemic hit. Along with everyone else on the planet my plans were postponed indefinitely.
In my darker, existential-crisis-filled moments it's tempting to look back on the last two years as a waste.
In order to stop myself from doing that, to cheer me up, and let's be honest, as a bit of highly-conceited blowing-of-my-own-trumpet, I decided to put a list together of what I've been up to for the last 24 months in the world of audio.
Turns out I've been quite busy 🙂
So here goes, in no particular order:
Jamie Williams And The Roots Collective "Do What You Love" album production, mix, separate masters for Vinyl, CD and Cassette

Joined and rehearsed about 60 songs with the Prefab 3. The Pandemic kicked in just before we were ready to start gigging, and now everyone in the band is happily busy in other bands 🙂
Played around 2 dozen gigs with Jamie Williams and the Roots Collective in between lockdowns, including a live video streamed no-audience gig at Hotbox during the darkest days of the lockdown.
The Penguin Party online video livestream duo gig with Jake Milligan during lockdown for Black Frog
Before, between and after the lockdowns I've been constantly gigging with Jamie Williams and the Roots Collective (next gig this Wednesday at the Little Green Dragon on Green Lanes, London https://www.facebook.com/events/486509485792423)
About 2 dozen gigs, most of which have happened since lockdowns were eased. 3 this week (if you start your week on a Saturday, a BBC habit I can't shake).
