“I’ve worked with Neil on multiple projects, most recently a collection of songs for a new solo project. He brings a wealth of production, engineering and industry experience, follows your lead, and has a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach with competitive rates. The fact that I’ve recorded with him so many times is an endorsement in itself.”
Nathan Stephens-GriffinMartha · Nathy SGHear the record“I’ve been recording with Neil for over ten years, in Durham and now in Coxhoe, and have completed eleven albums with him. He understands recording, engineering and production better than anyone I’ve worked with. The lads have done a great job at the new location, rapidly becoming a cultural hub for music in County Durham.”
Tom RowanSinger-songwriter · 11 albumsWatch: The Seaside Song“We recorded our 8-track EP with Neil. Everything was easy, no unneeded hassle, a pleasure to work with him. Very professional through the mixing process, happy to tweak until we were happy. We had the finished recordings off to the pressing plant within two weeks.”
Neil CampbellBastard Face · Diablo 66“We recorded our latest EP in a one-day session, live with no click track. Always a relaxed atmosphere but very professional, no time wasted. Happy to give advice but never overbearing. Got the first mix back really quick. Always really happy with the end result.”
Jimi TrimmerStolen Dead MusicHear the recordings“Neil engineered the live recording of our 17-piece University Big Band, and our brass band Chronotic Brass, something we couldn’t have achieved anywhere else. He took so much care editing and mixing each part. Whether modern jazz or floor-filling pop, he made it sound incredible. Couldn’t recommend more.”
Zach FoxDurham University Big BandWatch: Chronotic Brass, recorded here“I’ve made over eighteen albums in the 48 years since I started with The Lurkers, and I’m still with 999. After finding Rocking Horse, I wouldn’t use anywhere else. I’ve been recorded by Martin Rushent, Vic Maile and Dave Allen. All great. But Neil is one hundred percent up there with those guys.”
