The new @divinecomedyhq album Rainy Sunday Afternoon is out today folks!
We’ve got the official launch show in Kingston tonight and then we’ll be seeing you out touring the UK next month! 🕺🏼💃
On 28th November @guildhallschool Celebrate 50 years of Bohemian Rhapsody with Guildhall Session Orchestra
Performed by the magnifico Guildhall Session Orchestra and vocalists from the School, directed by Mike Roberts and Clare Wheeler.
Selfies in the bass booth. When it didn’t have the Leslie speaker in it, this was the bass booth. Tom did an amazing job of capturing the sound of my upright bass on the few tracks it featured on. Brand new Evahs on it too. Only sounded like that for a couple of weeks…
Time for some Squeezy pics! A man of many talents, @ianaccordion worked his way around half the instruments at Abbey Road over those 10 days; accordion, piano, Hammond organ, Vox Continental. Also our chief tubular bells operator…
Guitars, guitars and more guitars!
Tosh, Neil and sometimes Andrew too. Tosh had his work cut out on this record. Lots of fiddly bits, multiple instruments, funny tunings, a multitude of effects & amps for days…
We spent a lot of time finding the perfect parts and sounds for the songs. We hired an old Vox Continental for a few songs and the Abbey Road Hammond saw some serious action too 🎹
Our crack team of engineers! Tom Bailey did the most amazing job of recording and mixing the album, assisted by the brilliant George Oulton & Tom Ashpitel at Abbey Road. They worked some serious magic👌
Just before the @divinecomedyhq sessions I got hold of a @wilcockbasses Mullarkey. As soon as I heard Neil’s demos I knew it would be perfect. Viv makes incredible instruments. If you’re hearing bass guitar on the new album, you’re listening to that bass.

Our glorious string section at @AbbeyRoad last year, conducted by the equally glorious Andrew Skeet. Tom Bailey at the helm in the control room making everything sparkle..
We were very lucky to have the London Voices come into the studio for a day to record some backing vocals with Andrew Skeet leading the session. The Man Who Turned Into a Chair really came to life that afternoon. They really were fantastic 👌
Two legendary pianists playing two legendary @AbbeyRoad pianos! The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter features both @ianaccordion & Andrew Skeet on piano. Magic…
So the new @divinecomedyhq album is finally out in the wild folks! We spent 10 days at @AbbeyRoad making the record almost a year ago now and as usual I took a stack of photos during the whole process. I’ll be sharing a few over the next week so stay tuned 📷
