“Biff, boom, crack, party’s still going 6 in the morning” I have absolutely no idea why this line, from an old fave rock group I can’t even remember the name of, popped into my head, but ….

No it’s not!!

Nobody is partying this week, last week or for the foreseeable future.

So - Born in a Barn Studio locked the doors last Wednesday, on a last ditch run to the studio to collect a few essentials like printer, CD presser, a few random instruments & drums, but the thing that really made me realise this was real was turning the fridge off and unplugging it. I honestly don’t think I can remember a time when the fridge has been turned off - ever - like since December 1995 when I first connected it so we could have fresh milk in our tea as we began laying the foundations to build the studio! That fridge has done some time!! (OK - I might have upgraded it at some point - can’t remember!!)

So - that’s it for a while - no more studio sessions.

No more parties/filming/rehearsals/editing/mixing/mastering/sleeping or just cleaning - nothing!

Coronavirus has stopped many businesses in their tracks, but something tells me BB Studio will bounce back. It’s in my blood to make it happen - things can go on in the background and I won’t give up hope that at the end of this peculiar pandemic there will be one hell of a party at BB - anyone who has been there, knows me or is just looking for somewhere new, will be welcome.

For now tho’ - PLEASE follow government advice & stay at home - don’t push the limits - don’t be a hero.
Stay safe to protect the NHS and keep your hands clean!!
Musicians - do some practice.
Singers - do some practice.
Drummers - hell yeah do some practice!!

Practice 2m/6ft self-distancing too & give the elderly a fair shot at getting their necessities before you.

Oh - here’s a tip - if you have a bidet, now’s a real good time to start using it!!
Ciao4now!
