Day One
Monday, June 8th
Late enough start today. Spent three hours setting up equipment, then Spud and Alan arrived and we found out there was a pretty serious problem with the mixing desk. But after about an hour or so we decided to just run the drums on one channel. So, Will and Spud got working on the drum sound being perfect, and Me, Niall and Alan went to town for food.
Two hours later, and we had two drum tracks down.

Day Two
Tuesday, June 9th
Bit of a disaster today.. Got one drum track and one bass track down.

Day Three
Wednesday, June 10th
Back on track! No Niall today, but we got loads done. Lay it on the Line is 90% finished. Got two more drum tracks down, and wrote a bitching ska-style bass line for Punch the Government. Coulda done with another hour or so, but it’s all good. Also, got Need For Speed Undercover 14% completed
Bring on day four.
