Tristan Mackay

"The Devon born musician has made that 'difficult second album' by assembling a stunning 10 song collection on an acoustic based album."  ★★★★ Maverick Magazine

"Tristan Mackay's beautiful, uncluttered Wire & Wood ensares you...gorgeous songs and some stunning licks bleed from his fingers throughout."  ★★★★ Blues Magazine

"Mackay's hoarse-choirboy vocals float in a warm bath of hushed, hammond fuelled soul – not too removed from Rod Stewart's early homages to Sam Cooke. If you can entertain the notion of Ed Sheeran in Memphis, this is for you."  ★★★★ Acoustic Magazine

Produced, Engineered and Mixed by Martin Levan.

Paul Carrack

Recorded at Air Lyndhurst Studios in London with Steve Gadd (drums), Robbie McIntosh (guitars) and Jeremy Meek (bass), Paul finished the overdubbing at his home studio.

"It's 35 years since June Tabor's debut album, but this has to be among her best." ★★★★ The Times

Antonio first came to Red Kite Studio to record the title track for his album "Touchwood". He was so pleased with the guitar sound that Martin was able to achieve that he adjusted his plans and chose to mix the album at Red Kite.

He subsequently returned to record and mix his next album, the critically aclaimed "Tears of Joy".

Martin also recorded (on location) and mixed Antonio's "In Concert DVD" in 5.1 at Red Kite Studio.

'Forcione must surely be considered one of the most dynamic and imaginative guitarists on the contemporary scene...the sonic quality is absolutely first class...' - Jazzwise
