We’ve Put A Lot Of Love Into This Record

Alex Highton is my favourite artist – full stop. If you listen to his first album “Woodditton Wives Club” you will understand. Now his new album is on it’s way…

50K MUSIC: Last Friday (October 29) you reached your goal on SellaBand. How do you feel now?
Alex: I feel good. Very excited. As I am perpetually skint it is nice to have some finance in place to move things on.

50K MUSIC: With 3,000 EUR you have a rather small budget available. What are your plans to spend this money?
Alex: After converting into Sterling and the comission that will be paid to Sellaband I’ll end up with about £ 2,000. Enough to print up the CDs I need, buy the masters from EMI and pay for PR. It’s not much but it’s enough. Just……….

50K MUSIC: What kind of album can we expect, will it be similar to „Woodditton Wives Club“ or will it be completely different?
Alex: “The Woodditton Wives Club” was recorded in my garage / shed / office on an old mac with a karaoke mic. This will be TWWC Mark 2. Some of the same songs, some new ones. All recorded properly on the best mic’s with a good producer. The few people who own the original (and believe me it’s not many) have told me the “lo-fi” feel of it is one of the things they love about it. We’ve been very careful to try not to lose the charm of the original whilst recording something of real quality. We’ve put a lot of love into this record.

50K MUSIC: What other plans do you have in mind for the next few months?
Alex: Christmas in Italy. That’s top of the list. Other than that I’m not sure. You’ll be the first to know, I promise you that.
