Rumpus Recording

I need help from my musical friends out there.
I’m looking for someone who sounds a bit like Glen Campbell for a jingle I’m working on.
Do we know anyone?

It’s that time again.

It was 40 years ago this month (the May school holidays, to be precise) that Andrew Fagan and I got together in his parents living room and started writing the first Mockers songs.
Most of them were a bit rubbish but as they were our first songs, we felt like we were inventing rock n roll!
It wasn’t long before Chas Mannell and Dale Monaghan joined us and we had ourselves a band!
This was one of those first songs.

Rumpus Recording has now been going 4 years.
It’s a bit of a roller coaster but this month has been the best month I’ve had in that time.
A couple of of big client jingles.
A redo of an old Stooges jingle.
And a couple of Christmas related jingles.
Oh. And I’ve released a Christmas song. Have I mentioned that?

Imagine if The Mockers had done a Christmas song?
Wait!.........Come back!.........
I’ve recorded a song at Rumpus Recording for RNZ’s ‘Write a Christmas song’ competition.
It’s called ‘WHEN MARIAH SINGS’.
It didn’t win but it got on the short list, so it can’t be too bad. Can it?
It’s now available on Spotify and Apple Music and a whole bunch of other streaming services.
Please share with anyone who might like a new song on their Christmas playlist.
Let’s get this thing to Number One for Christmas!!!

The magnificent Nicholas Finlay Thurston Ward has just left the studio.
And not a moment too soon I think.

Here's a link to the doco I've just composed music for. Thanks Irene, Rochelle and Prisca.

I’ve just finished a jingle for a Southland client.
It went to air for the first time yesterday afternoon.
This morning at 9 o’clock, their opposition phoned the sales rep I’m dealing with and said
“I want a jingle too! How do I get one?”
I love it when that happens😎

I’m strapping on the bass again for a couple of songs when the Mockers pass through Wellington in March.
The photos are from 2017 and 1980.
Bet ya can’t tell which is which.
