Abbey Road has been part of my life for nearly 25 years and as corny as it may sound, it really feels like I am part of a big extended family, with it’s ups and downs but never boring. Abbey Road has given me music, confidence, and friends for life and I’m glad that I can say I feel like I’ve also given back something building up a mastering, remastering and archiving team that will carry on the tradition of excellence I have always been proud to be part of.

So many but probably my favourite times have been sitting in the Abbey Road garden with a glass of wine, sunshine and laughter with some of my friends and colleagues from the studio.

Nanci Griffith’s The Dust Bowl Symphony album recorded in 1999. Consists of songs Nanci had previously released on other albums but re-recorded in Studio One with the London Symphony Orchestra, a blend of one of my favourite female folk singers with an orchestral backing recorded in the greatest studio in the world. And I had the pleasure of sharing a pint of Guinness at the Abbey Road bar with her.
