We Are All Henry’s Children
by Phil Coyne on Nov.06, 2009, under General
For the past few weeks I’ve been working closely with Henry’s Children – a band from Birmingham who are one of the best I’ve ever seen live.
Adam and Jon came in to talk about the album they self released in May and now the time has come for you to download it from their Bandcamp website.
You can find it at their Bandcamp for the princely sum of £5.
As someone who has been heavily involved with them recently, I’d love if you could take a listen and snap up a copy. Currently they’re trying to raise funds to record their second album, so every little helps.
Henry’s Children gig at the Adam and Eve
by Phil Coyne on Oct.28, 2009, under General
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working closely with Henry’s Children to get them set up to take the world by storm. What started off as an offer getting their latest EP, Woodbine Street, on to iTunes has now transformed into something a little bigger.
After sitting in on a couple of their practice sessions, I was asked to help them “work the desk” for their regular night at the Adam and Eve, Digbeth last Friday. Since the live sessions have started, I’ve found myself having a lot more interest in making sure levels are correct and it all sounds great for you lovely listeners on the interwebs.
It was a long but fantastic night on Friday. HC were supported by Richard Burke and James Summerfield, who incidentally signed to the same label as Simon Fox, who is on this weeks show. Despite a few problems with the sound (not me, I wasn’t “working it” at that point) they both came across very well.
At about 10ish, after being presented with three or four pints, it was time for the band to take to the stage and for my work to begin. Looking in on the practice sessions was great because I remembered who would be singing on which song, who needed to be a little louder etc and I could also rely on feedback from the crowd on who needed to be louder in the front of house. A fantastic night which has hopefully helped the band in the long run.
The next gig I’ll be helping out at is at Flan O’Briens on the 5th November in Walsall. Come down if you can and witness my skills in action.
