Urchin Studios

Last week we had the pleasure of recording Scott Cousins aka Evan Jack. It was the first time we’ve worked with Scott, who is a guitar playing singer-songwriter from Wales who with his compadre Andrew Lyddon on drums make up the band.

In an Urchin first and with the spirit of “it bloody well can be done” which excites us so, we recorded the acoustic, vocals and drums at the same time. We’re happy to confirm that it can be done and is sounding great. We were obviously aided by the fact that Andrew is a delicate and sensitive musician and that fact that these two have played with each other loads and know the music intimately.

Here are a few pics.

This is Scott who has the sweetest sounding Martin acoustic. So good in fact that a Martin mahogany acoustic is now quite high on the list of possibly new Urchin acquisitions. Watch this space. Also the combo of SM7 for vocal and U87 for guitar was just lovely.

This is Andrew who, despite the stylistic requirement insisted on using two floor toms and two splash cymbals and managed to make it work. What a lad.
