Simon Kempston + Rosie Hunter

Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Simon Kempston is in the studio this week recording 4 new acoustic songs. Simon was in the studio earlier in the year with guitarist Louie Robertson. This time round the songs are more rootsy sounding and the recording, which also features violinist Rosie Hunter, is free of any overdubs and is strictly Acoustic Guitar, Violin + Simon’s very distinctive vocal. The recording is principally for swinging a gig at January’s Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow, but it’s turning out really well and has a lovely fresh original feel to it. Simon doesn’t mess about and one hour into the session all the guitar parts were done and dusted. By the end of the four hour session all four songs were completed. The mix takes place on Wednesday.
