Working with Duncan Mackay at DM RECORDING was a wonderful experience for me.  I had written a number of songs but had never been in a recording studio.  Meeting Duncan for the first time was quite intimidating for me as I knew his reputation as a legendary keyboard player with 1970’s mega band 10CC and Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel.  However, I soon found that he is a man who is passionate about music and he was brilliant in bringing out the best in the songs that I had written.  We initially agreed to record three tracks, but our working relationship clicked so well that we ended up recording my first album – Little Box of Memories.

Duncan is a consummate professional and is only satisfied with a track once it has passed his rigorous test to ensure that it sounds its very best.  He sees songs as living things that have their own way of telling you how they want to sound and the results surpassed my expectations.  His knowledge of music and what it takes to make a song come to life is second to none and he is great to work with.  He has an ability to spark and sharpen you personally along the journey.  I can recommend his services without reservation and with complete confidence to anyone who is fortunate enough to work with him.
