BIG SKY
FOLK/ROCK BAND
Recording The CD
This CD was recorded over two days at Dragonffli Recording Studio in Pontypool with Nick Byrne twiddling the knobs, the days in question were March 9th and April 13th 2013, which we spent fuelled on chips and adrenaline. We also spent a couple of evenings tweaking things to get it to sound better. I think it's known as mixing!

This is our version of the Travis song, we even pursuaded Ed to get his banjo out.
