Fab fun had with Nick Battle and Kipper. Great studio space as Nick forges ahead with another cool idea, a worship album, with a difference, (you'll have to buy it when it comes out to see what that difference is). Is there no end to the things this guy can do, come up with? Such a privelege to be able to contribute in some small way to this project, feeling that my voice is being used at last in a way it was always intended to be- a gift from the heart to touch other hearts....Looking forward to next Tuesday's session. Go Nick go! As for Kipper's got to be up there as one of the easiest, best producers to work with, so laid back in just the right way, with that hard work ethic that makes it feel relaxed and enjoyable whilst getting a lot done, if only all sessions could be like this....ah...bliss
