Back so late last night.
Up in good time to record what I think is the final drum part for Claudia's album. It was never supposed to have drums on this track, but we agreed it needed it. Because of the fact they hadn't intended to have a beat on it, though, the recording I was working with was rhythmically all over the place and was a tricky one to follow. We got there in the end, but took 7 takes. Great tune, though, and you could feel it's worth the work.
Then put down some percussion on another track but it really didn't need it, and the others agreed - sometimes you can just put stuff on a recording for the sake of it, but those congas won't make the final cut and I'm perfectly cool with that.
Got home and replied to all the emails that have been building up over the last few days, before finally approaching the acts for the comedy festival we're putting together. Next week looks really quiet - in fact, September is oddly empty until my Ireland tour, but then in October it's China and loads of other stuff, so I must remember to enjoy this downtime while it lasts.
