About me: Nearfield Studios is proud to launch its new project Nearfield Records. This won't be your usual record label whereby we give you a large amount of money to record etc in advance and you pay it back with interest. All you have to do is record with us at Nearfield Studios under the 2 for 1 offer (below) then when you get your album duplicated it will come out on the Nearfield Records Label. We will help you promote it, advertise it on our myspace/Facebook/Bebo pages. As more and more bands sign up, we will be releasing compilation albums featuring artist from Nearfield Records and holding show cases in local venues again with Nearfield Records artists. Why not get in touch to see how we can help *********************************************************** Looking for a way of getting cheaper, professional recording for your album? Nearfield Studios is excited to launch our loyalty scheme. How does it work?..... When you sign up to the scheme we will give you a 2 for 1 offer, for every day you book at full cost for recording we will give you a free day for mixing. This could cut the cost of your album by 50%!! ***********************************************************
***********************************************************
STUDIO 2 COMMING SOON!!!!!!!!! Studio 2 will be a small project studio where you can come in and work alone either song writing or working out ideas before you go into the main studio. Rates will be just a £5 per hour if you are working alone and don't require help. If you then go into the main studio to record, 50% of your project studio fees will be refunded.

Stolen Order's tracks LOVE MONEY and 9 to 5 are now complete and should be ready for download soon from Stolen Order. Contact them through MYSPACE or STOLENORDER.COM for details.
Have just spent a fantastic and very productive weekend with STOLEN ORDER again. These guys are rehearsed and know exactly what they want and get the job done!! A pleasure to work with. Tracks recorded were, COWARD, NEW DISEASE and LETS GET THE FEELING. COWARD is a classic rock ballad which has a guitar solo and vocal performance which makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck!!!
***********************************************************
Currently working on TOBY MICHAEL'S solo material which I have to say is all class material from him. His classic track BORN TO DIE turning out to be my favourite which may also become a STOLEN ORDER number on their forth coming album.

MY BACKGROUND
Started playing drums aged around 10, At 18 joined my first local band. Moved to Manchester to train as a Sound Engineer. It was right in the middle of the 'Madchester' period, The Smiths and The Stone Roses were regular visitors to the Studio. One of my fellow students had The Stone Roses as his project band! Some of them rehearsed in the basement flat below me, not good considering I'm a rocker!
I joined a band called Tyger Tyger, containing Jess Cox of The Tygers of Pan Tang, I was their drummer for a while and toured regularly.
Then met Andy and Pete Lee and joined their band as drummer. They are now better known as major remix producers behind the Love to Infinity/Soda Club name. Grammy nominated Love to Infinity have remixed a wealth of dance and pop artists including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Cher, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Gloria Estefan, Whitney Houston , Loleatta Holloway , Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Grace Jones, Will Smith, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, The Who, Pulp, All Saints, Simply Red, Take That, Aqua, Robbie Williams , Melanie Williams , Barbra Streisand etc...
Check out their site (search for Love to Infinity)After speaking with Andy recently, he plans to use the studio when open due to the location and quality of the equipment.
Who I'd like to meet: Networking, other sound engineers, producers, musicians, song writers or anyone who would want to be a part of the studio
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
