I’ve been at Airtight Studios over the weekend recording an album with Skamel; it went really well despite the near-sauna temperatures.  Here are some lovely photos of us to prove we were working hard.

The album should be ready for release in October this year.  There are plans for a tour to coincide with the release so you’ll be able to buy it directly from the band – how exciting!  (Tim lost this game of chess, by the way.)

To keep up-to-date with the progress of the album, keep checking the Skamel page on my site or you can ask to be added to our mailing list by e-mailing skamel@hotmail.co.uk.

Sad news yesterday. We lost bassist Lloyd Brevett, one of the original members of the Skatalites. My Reggae band, Skamel, will be paying tribute to him at Matt & Phred’s on Friday May 25th.

In other news, Lester Stirling will be bringing the Skatalites to the Band on the Wall on Thursday May 24th. I will be there taking notes!

I’ll leave you with this…
