November 2012
We’ve done it. The target was reached today with one day to go and I’m still rubbing my eye’s. Kind donations from Australia and a few from here in Glastonbury saw us over the line. I’m recording with the fantastic ‘Jez Hellard’ tomorrow and then with ‘Gareth Austin’ on Tuesday but it’s hard to see how i’m going to get all the material recorded here before we leave. I’m going to take the project back to Oz with me. Will have to find a few cats out there that can play. It’s getting to me a bit, because obviously, the album title includes ‘The Abbey’ which refers to the abbey here in Glastonbury. To me the ‘Abbey’ is the congregation, it’s the musicians that are coming together to play on this album. I don’t feel i’ve captured enough Avalonian spirit on this album yet. Which leaves me to wonder whether I’ll have to come back to finish it off. We’ve 5 tracks ready to be mixed which is not a bad start and ‘St. Cecilia’ has been watching over us, of that i’m sure.
