The Maestro Echoplex EP-3 - by Simon Campbell - VIBES It takes real dedication to keep this in a roadworthy condition, but it’s totally worth it. Here you can find out why…

It’s been a while since I wrote a technical article, but last week my trusty Maestro Echoplex EP-3 needed some TLC, which inspired this piece.

Our Wins of the Week Democratic momentum continued to build this week as we barrel toward the midterm elections in less than eight months.

A seat flip in New Hampshire. A strong Democratic showing in Georgia. Encouraging new polls in Texas and Ohio. And more signs that Trump is losing support with key voters. More of this, please. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progr...

It all started in 1966. 🎸

My new solo album is the story of the music that saved me when I was struggling with aching self-doubt.

Now, the band and I are bringing that defiant, honest energy to the stage.

Very excited about this record…

‘Year of the Fire Horse’🐎🔥

Cooking up something special for my new solo album - ‘Year of the Fire Horse’

Here’s a teaser of Simon Campbell laying down some heat on the SonicLab.

He definitely has a hard on for guitars! 🎸⚡️

Fearsome Bob: 13 years, six countries, European tours: one mission - cheese!! 🧀 🐾

From European tours with @starlitecampbell to tactical cheese heists, Bobby has seen it all.

Fearsome Bob: fart of a lion

Wonderful!

Let’s see how Richard Digby Smith’s ‘One, Two, Three, Four’ stands up. I will let you know.

I love stuff about recording and engineering—surprise surprise—and have read most of the greats, Al Schmitt, Geoff Emerick, Tony Visconti and Ken Scott. My favourites is the superb ‘Are We Still Rolling’ by Phill Brown.

Book three from my belated birthday gifts! I love reading and especially hardback books. They feel special, like a vinyl record.

A couple of days ago I posted about a book I received as a belated birthday present and mentioned that my first band, Whitefire, were not featured in the Cargo Studios book detailing the history of that iconic studio: I was wrong!! So,here you go…

I still have the original 2” 16 track tape and think I will find a suitable machine (the original saw a Cadey) to digitise and remix. A project for next year I think…

The second belated birthday book.

My first band, Whitefire, recorded an EP here and have included my old mucker, vocalist and songwriter @timwright to share.

We are not featured in the book, but many great bands from Manchester are. It’s lovely to read John Brierley account of the iconic studio.

Entry is free and well behaved pets are most welcome.

The space

A minimalist setting designed for high-fidelity listening, paired with artisanal craft beers & ciders, fresh baked Pizza and vintner-selected wines & spirits.

An evening for the observant. A night of texture, space, and song.

In the spirit of the avant-garde, we will also be debuting ‘works-in-progress’: new material currently being refined, shared in its rawest form.

Join us for an intimate evening of music as we share a stripped-back, principally acoustic performance. This is a rare opportunity to experience our work deconstructed, exploring the essential architecture of tracks from our three studio albums and Simon’s solo explorations.

A belated birthday gift arrived today from my wife @suzystarlite. Yes, I still have a hard on for guitars. And delightfully, so does Johnny Marr.

@suzystarlite and I will raise a glass to love and lovers everywhere. And we certainly need more love in the world right now.

As It’s Saturday we are off to the market with Bob, Edith and Françoise—which is always slightly chaotic—and have booked our usual table for lunch at Casa Antero in Caldas da Rainha.

It’s Valentine’s day. We don’t feel the need to celebrate, but wish those of you that do a lovely romantic day doing whatever it is you lovers do.

Dreamed of this moment for a long time… celebrating the opening of my first ever art installation Raising A Nation in Caldas da Rainha, a UNESCO city with an abundance of very cool people.

Thanks to Natacha at the Gazeta for sharing my story.

It runs until 6th March 🔥
