Finally, got a few new musical things to blog about! Been busy recently tracking ‘rock’ guitars, bass and drums on 3 songs for Brian Devlin. Finished now and can’t wait to hear how all his songs turn out post-production.
Also got together in the same room in my studio with my fellow The Postcards guitarists Dave and Chris to work through 8 (yes eight) new cover song ideas. Sounded ace and next step is rehearsal studio in June before bringing them live to a cinema near you asap!
Real loud rehearsal in a rehearsal studio last Sunday is biggest news, with newest band I’ve teamed up with Hanley & The Baird. Original songs, new to me, but so good and so much fun. Going to enjoy playing with these guys this year! Thanks for inviting me in. Cheers.

We love this song by Jack White so much, we though we’d record it (in the style of First Aid Kit) … so we did! Enjoy!
Really enjoyed a bit of remote recording and mixing with Chris Thomas (but not Bruce Thomas and Pete Thomas too unfortunately!). Just a bit of fun, but we like it a lot!
I’m really happy to be involved in a small way with the wonderful Sing In The City organisation. Even though Covid has has a big impact, the music goes on! Hanley & The Baird is the band formed by SITC Musical Directors Kirsty Baird and Annette Hanley to support the choirs and ‘Looking At Me, Looking At You’ is their great new single. Available on all good platforms … listen, and most importantly BUY it now! And follow Hanley & The Baird on Facebook 😉
With gigs and recording face to face with people out of the window for the time being, I spent some time having fun remixing (with Jan as Executive Producer!). We have really enjoyed transforming this great track ‘Skin’ by Man of Moon from Rock to Electronic Dance. Thanks Chris & Michael. Not our usual style, more Donna Summer meets The Chemical Brothers! Enjoy J&G xx

I’ve just finished arranging, engineering, recording, programming, playing the instruments, mixing and producing a 5 song EP and CD for a lovely singer and friend Rachel Edwards. I’m very proud of Rachel and our results … so brave to tackle such ambitious songs for a relatively inexperienced singer, but she did a great job to show she has ‘the voice of an angel’! Have a listen below.
I think it sounds great and I owe lots of thanks to : Kornelijus Pukinsis for his amazing Alto Sax On ‘New York State of Mind’; Claire Hunter for lovely Violin touches on ‘Tell Me On A Sunday’; Mac Walker of http://www.anotherangle-Scotland.com for the beautiful artwork; Barry Gardner of http://www.masteringmastering.co.uk for a superb mastering job; and my wonderful mix review panel of Piotr, Jan, Neil, Chris, Dave, Stuart for their wise counsel. But especially Rachel for her infectious enthusiasm and my wife Karen for patiently putting up with me during all the long hours.
‘I had the pleasure of working with George to fulfil a dream I had held and never fulfilled for years! To record my own album in a professional recording studio! George helped me realise my dream and what a fantastic experience! I recorded an EP and George helped me understand each stage of the recording and production process … so it was beyond what I dreamed of as it was an educational journey aswell as achieving the polished end result. George is a talented singer and musician as well as a producer and helped to really enrich the quality of my recordings! I was so pleased with the whole experience that I’m thinking of doing my next EP now! Thanks George’ Rachel Edwards
If you have any ideas or dreams for recording your own music that I could help you with, read more on my Music Producer page and feel free to get in touch via the contact form. Would be great to hear what you think and any ideas you might have!
An updated version for Andy! A hastily put together home made version of the excellent Spitfire by Public Service Broadcasting, as a bit of an experiment … but it makes me happy. Going to see them at The Usher Hall next week which makes me even happier!
Let’s turn this little baby up to 12 and see what ….. WHOAH !!! Nice !
