So, I know it’s a bit late to be wishing people a Happy New Year, but quite honestly, I couldn’t be bothered to login and update this site. Sorry.

Last week I played my first show of the year at the Old Blue Last, Shoreditch, with my good buddy Tom George, aka The Lion and The Wolf. That is always a massive pleasure and this time he played with a drummer and a bassist… finally. His ever longing urge to be in Band of Horses appears to be coming to fruition… kind of. Anyway, they sounded great and I can’t wait to see them again. If you get the chance you should go see them!

My next show is at Catch Bar, Shoreditch with The Social Club on Wednesday 29th January. It’s gonna be a great show and the Social Club are always awesome fun!

So this weekend has been a great weekend. Not only did I get to work on recording one of my new songs, but I also got to play a great show in my home town with loads of great musicians (PJ Bond, Alfie J Crook, Tristan O’Hana & Phil Clift) and record Alfie J Crook again, but Alf’s track for PV Undercover track came out yesterday (Sunday).

It’s a cover of Cher’s ‘Believe’! Go and listen NOW!

I then found out this morning that one of the first bands I ever recorded, Serf Combat, have just got themselves a Bandcamp to host all their old recordings and make them available for anyone to download. I recorded ‘The Buckley Era’ and ‘Hands Cast With Music’. You should definitely go and listen to them too. It was really weird going back and listening to stuff I recorded a few years ago, but the songs are great and that made it possible for me to enjoy them as much as I did back then, regardless of recording quality.

As always, thank you for reading!

I hope to catch you soon.

booking, dates, luke godwin, new record, shows

I’m still working on a whole bunch of new songs at the moment. I’ve started recording some of the stuff and there’s a lot I haven’t yet. I’m not sure when I’ll have a new release ready, but there should be a little teaser EP/demo something ready within the next month or so!

Otherwise, I have been booking some shows so please check out the SHOWS PAGE for more details on them. I’ve also got a pretty busy month of recording other people this month. I’ll keep you up to date with the goings on in that world too.

If you are putting any shows on that I could sneak on the bill of, please let me know! I’m looking for any shows I can get anywhere.

Hope everyone is good and I hope I can get this record done soon!

Sorry

I’ve been a bit out of the blogosphere for a while because I’ve been really busy with Christmas, a few shows, writing a whole load of new stuff and recording as much of it as possible, some demos and some that’s gonna make the record. I’ve dropped a lot of songs and half written songs whilst writing for this record so I’ve recorded lots of demos that sound great, but will never work as songs for myself. Perhaps they’ll work for something else. Then I blew the tweeters in both my monitors so was out of action and pretty much did nothing. It’s a new year now though and I’ve already started getting on with stuff. First off, I bought some new monitors. They’re Adam A5xs and they’re great! My old monitors were pretty cack and when they finally died, after 3 years of me battering them, I decided it was time to make that upgrade (in quality, not speaker size) and buy some Adams, seeing as I have wanted some for ages.

Unfortunately due to it being the Christmas period and me constantly spending money on instruments etc I didn’t have enough money hanging around for the Adam A7xs, hence I got the A5xs. Nevertheless, they’re great and have already proved to me that where I thought my monitors were misleading me, they really were. Due to lack of stock where I bought the monitors, I currently have one brand spanking new one, and one of the display ones. For those who don’t know, speakers always have a ‘breaking in period’. This is basically where the speakers need to be used for [insert amount of time depending on speaker] in order for optimum performance. Because of this, the display speaker is significantly ‘fuller’/’richer’ sounding, causing it to be/seem ‘louder’ than the new one. I have a second new monitor on order, however, if I was to work using the current monitors for days at a time, when the display one is swapped for a new one, I’d end up with, yet again, unbalanced monitors. Full on PITA.

Anyway, enough rambling about the details, I am stoked to have some freaking rad speakers in the studio again/finally. They’re also smaller than my last set so are easier to take to other places for location recordings. 🙂

Tomorrow, I’m recording Alfie J Crook… again. We’ve had a few sessions together so far. The first being after a boozy evening recording until 3am. I don’t think there was ever any intention of using those recordings for release, but it was good to get some time in. Since then, we’ve had a few ‘practices’ for a show we were both playing, in Plymouth with Franz Nicolay (which was awesome fun by the way, Hi Franz!). Alf’s set was going to be played as a band type thing. In the end we decided against the ‘band’ show and realised as we got to the venue it was for the best that we had decided this. Some of these practices were recorded. They were purely demonstration recordings for myself (guitar) and Alex (bass).

Next weekend I have a couple of shows lined up. They’re in Horsham and Guildford on Friday 13th (ahhhhh!) and Saturday 14th, respectively. If you can come to either of those it’d be greatly appreciated and I think some partying is gonna go down afterwards on Friday in Horsham.

Finally, I hope you all had an absolutely brilliant Christmas and a very happy new year. I wish you all the best and hope to see / meet you soon.

Luke x
