Dan and the Sultan

I spent the last four days rehearsing with Dan Sultanov, a Russian singer, who just finished his first album at Sphere Studios and is now looking for a record company. The line up was/is:

Dan Sultanov - vox
Anthea Clarke - b-vox
Ciaron Bell - keys, b-vox
Lael Goldberg - guit
Jack Stevens - bass
Swiss Bloke - drums 

The rehearsals took place at the Joint close to King's Cross. Since I still don't have my drums up here (soon to change) I had to rent some drums from the place. They don't come cheap, I'll tell you... £108 for the four days (£3 per hour - no discount for four days renting). I'm thinking about buying a couple of kits and renting them out... there's a fortune to be made.
Well, anyway, SAT, SUN &MON rehearsing, and yesterday a couple of run-throughs for filming and for the guys of the rec company. The thing went down pretty smoothly! So now we wait and see...

Had a beer with Andreas Vollenweider later in the evening. What a nice guy!!! ...and his next album is gonna be great! (The one and only Walter Keiser on drums) Go have a listen once it's in the stores.
