Thanks again and more blushing.

I'm pretty sure that was a digital camera. The recordist used to use a tape camera (digibeta or minibeta, I think) and he had a Rode mic that worked with that that really made your voice sound good, but the tape running time and the batery life were short enough to annoy him.

My favourite arrangement is off our gig-list at the moment - The Testament of Patience Kershaw - due to "creative differences". Everyone except me wants to cut or simplify my favourite bit of my guitar part, where I slightly and deliberately depart from the drum timing. I am a noid!

In fact we are also having differences about whether actually to gig as such. It creates pressures including on time - with two band members based in Stoke Newington, one in South Greenwich, and me near the Isle of Grain the only one with enough room and distant enough neighbours to rehearse. We can do the odd floor spot without stress, but getting a whole evening ready and delivering it correctly does result in damage to the patience of various people including me!
