jakenewmanbass Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Had a nice day at Abbey Rd, I was along to meet a guy working there as my mate (Andy Treacey) was doing a drum session for him... I will be doing some things with him hopefully too. Elliott Randall came down to play a bit of gtr, and I even bumped into Paul McCartney in the corridor... Sorry for the name drop but it's been a bit of a day [attachment=98735:IMG_0567.JPG] [attachment=98736:IMG_0570.jpg] Quote
gjones Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 What would a visit to Abbey Road be without at least a fleeting glimpse of Paul McCartney? Quote

Are you kidding! If I'd spent the day in Abbey Road Studios, even just to sweep the floor (which is probably the only reason they'd let me in ) I'd be posting all over BC . . . even without bumping into Macca. Quote

risingson Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Wow, our drummer/producer would be turning green with envy just reading this. He's off to a masterclass down there in a few weeks time, but getting to record there (with Elliott Randall!!!) is a hell of an experience. Unreal! Quote
Hobbayne Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Is that the new penthouse studio? Well, opened in the 80,s anyway Quote

jakenewmanbass Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Another days recording at Abbey Rd... much fun was had, I took my son along to the session he's a very keen 13 year old drummer and the artist very kindly asked him to play some cymbal rolls for the track I was playing on, he excelled and did me proud...! he got paid and will get an album credit. I said to him, your next gig will have to be on Mars to top that!! Me on upright [attachment=108955:photo.JPG] (No idea why the rotation is as it is... it wasn't as I was uploading!!) My boy at the desk [attachment=108953:IMG_0633.jpg] Him doing his stuff [attachment=108951:IMG_0640.jpg] The artist Noah Francis and Kelly Le Roc (bvs) [attachment=108952:IMG_0635.JPG] Edited May 28, 2012 by jakenewmanbass Quote
risingson Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Jake, does Marcus Bonfanti have any involvement with this guy? I've seen his name crop up before through conversations, friends of friends etc. Superb pics by the way, what I'd do to record in somewhere as prestigious as Abbey Road!

51m0n Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Not jealous, no, not at all....... Brilliant times Jake, bet your son just can't believe it (bet his school mates [i]really[/i] can't believe it, or don't even begin to understand how lucky that is!) Quote
Hobbayne Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I have never actually recorded in Abbey Road, although I have been there a couple of times to watch some friends recording in there. We didnt actually go in through those famous doors though, we had to enter by the tradesmans entrance on the left hand side of the building down an alleyway. They did record in the famous studio 2, which was a bit smaller than i expected. Quote
