A lively night at MPM Studio! Mick and Liam Spain festooned the Live Room with Christmas lights. Rory Makem brought a little portable Christmas tree, and with his banjo intro, accompanied by seasonally appropriate sleigh bells, the lads launched into a great new Christmas sing-along ‘I Heard the Bells on Christmas Morn’. Conor Makem joined in with concertina, Brian Richards with 12-string guitar, John Doherty with upright bass (we got a GREAT bass sound-no easy matter), and the whole thing was captured on video, viewable soon on YouTube.
Dave Hallowell showed up with his video camera (which we synch-ed up to the good audio), and I can see immediately from his ‘roughs’ that the Live Room is a perfect YouTube venue. Think about that, folks…
