Am I Having Too Much Fun?
Just finished the recording sessions at BBC Mailbox for 'Dr Pfeffer's Lonely Hearts Club', the radio version of 'Intimate History'. All being well the 15 minute shows will be broadcast on Radio 4 every wednesday at 11pm from the 21st February, and if i do say so myself should be corking!
It was a tight schedule with only three days to record all four episodes but it was a blast. Fantastic new arrangements from Derek added percussion, accordion and cello - it was a pleasure to be recording with such accomplished musicians.
The new format meant a pretty big re-write and re-think from Craig and myself, his words being brilliantly brought to life by Simon Munnery (as the mc), Ali and Saikat.
Kate and the recording crew were very friendly and efficient even in the midst of a lot of overworking, all in all a great few days. I couldn't help feeling very lucky to have got such good people working on the project - and get paid for it.
Anyway, enough of the sickening affirmations, I'm off to Brussels for a few days to see old friends and old haunts, can't wait to hear the results.
