These have been a few hectic and inpirational days!
I had the pleasure of working with truly exceptional musicians. Dee is a great songwriter, guitar player and singer.
After he laid down guitar and vocals, Jim Higgins (“Saw Doctors” member until 2004) came to the studio and blew my mind completely! The guy would accompany a song the first time he hears it, as if he was playing it for weeks! To make things even more exciting, classically trained violin player (who also plays trad, and anything in between!) Sarolta Simo added some beautiful sounds with her electric (and electrifying -- sorry I couldn’t help myself) violin. Tim Geoghegan played accordion and whistle.
We recorded 8 tracks in 3 days, and mixed another 4 that were recorded in a bedroom in Westport.
Dee calls this a ‘demo’, hoping it will help raise some funds to a bigger production (any rich people reading this?), but I know quite a few people who would be proud to have this as a final product. I can’t wait to work on the rest of the production!
The following video has the track “Slim” with random shots from the recording
and you can’t have more North Ireland in a song than in this chilling thrilling track:
David Dee Moore -- Candy Shop
