All the musical, sound, lighting and power equipment was carried to the top of Mount Kiliminjaro – all in aid of The Smile Train! What an achievement! For more information on the charity, go to:

The Ed-produced album “Falcon” has now been released. Michael from The Courteeners spoke about the band’s recording experience in a recent interview for The Sport.
“Your second album is out next Monday, and it’s produced by another master of the art in Ed Buller (Pulp, Suede etc)”
Michael: “That was a similar kind of thing, really. Ed had apparently got wind of some of our demos and wanted to work with us. He¹s got a studio in Brussels which is where we did the record but he came over to Manchester when we were demoing and sat and listened. He went to dinner with us and told us that he’d really like to do the record. So again we thought, yeah, brilliant, we’ll have some of that! We love Suede and Pulp. He’s a really nice bloke, we got on well and we’ve got a great second record out of it. It was the perfect match. His studio in Brussels is amazing, like an Aladdin’s cave  all of the guitarists were like, f***ing hell, look at all that! And there were about 30 drum kits there ranging from late 1950s ones to the most interesting and stupid ones I’ve ever seen. It was just an amazing place to do the record and if you’re in a band then I fully recommend trying to do it over there. It’s like its own little complex  there were table tennis tables, which we all got pretty good on, it had a pool and a gym – you just woke up there and recorded. It made you not want to go out and completely concentrated your mind on the task at hand. We had an amazing six or seven weeks there.”
Gil has finished working on the fourth studio album from Australian band Gyroscope. They finished recording the album in Rockfield Studios towards the end of last year. The album is titled “Cohesion” and is scheduled to be released in April this year. Check out the first single from the album “Some Of The Places I Know” on their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/gyroscope where there are also some great videos of Gil working with the band in the studio!
