Barry and Andy's wee Independent Record Label taking shape now 🙂

I was appointed by Denny Newman (Manfred Man) as the Mastering Engineer for his full album project after I done Denny and his team who include legendary drummer John Lingwood (Manfred Man) also Mix Engineer on the record a few test presses off the tracks a few months back.

I was delighted to get the gig as the songs are amazing and as I've said before somewhere on here the songwriting and playing off these guys is on another level.

After spending time working with Denny and the guys on the tracks over the last few months Denny is putting his music out through GEKKO RECORDS. First single feat: Carline Dawson, COLD COLD HEART will be released on all streaming/download platforms from 03-03-23

Denny Newman has been called British blues best kept secret.
Currently residing in Germany, Denny first achieved
recognition with the 1980 pan-European hit “Lies (through the eighties)”
for Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, the opening track on the bands’
album Chance. The chorus of the song was sampled in 2020
by rapper Logic for his hit single “Heard ‘Em Say” bringing
Denny’s tune to a new audience forty years later.

Between these two Denny has been steadily building his profile,
as a member of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band and in various solo
incarnations he has worked with some of the UK’s finest blues musicians,
including Mick Taylor (The Rolling Stones), Robbie McIntosh (The Pretenders),
and Snowy White among many others.

Denny has honed a song-writing style the quality of which sets
him apart from many of his peers.

Please give Denny's new music page a like if you want to keep updated
on progress.
