Right now outside of the day to day work running LDC and looking after the maintenance and logistics of our storage clients it's all about Skunk Anansie!! The band performed their first high profile live show (if you don’t count the two secret gigs at the Water Rats earlier this year!) at MTV day, Italy in September.

The show was a pretty busy one for me. With bass drum heads nearly splitting, cymbal stands breaking and microphones moving all over the place I have to say it was pretty tough but we got through.
Be sure to check out the live shows throughout October and November… If you can get a ticket!
I’m delighted to say that there have been a few enjoyable additions to our already impressive client list of the UK’s best session drummers. I’ve been out on recording sessions with Jeremy Stacey (Sheryl Crow), Pete Lewinson (Sade) and we’ve been working with Karl Brazil on a few different things.
Real World Studios – LDC was recently here with Pete Lewinson.
One of LDC’s newest clients, Karl Brazi

A big thank you to all our clients and this means everyone who’s been in to the shop, ordered something online or hired a kit and I don’t just mean the recognisable names above I mean all of you. Without you we couldn’t do what we do and it’s always worth remembering that. Here’s to many more years doing what we do!
Talk to you soon…
