Chris Tomlin’s guitarist Daniel Carson is working adding more guitars in Nashville. I’m really pleased that Daniel is working on the record, as he'll bring a totally different flavour to things. We’ve always planned to track with one guitarist, then take the tapes over to another for extra parts. Daniel is recording parts from a studio in Nashville with an engineer called Russ Long, and Adrian Thompson is there to supervise the session. It’s a strange feeling having a bunch of guys work on your songs halfway round the world, but it’s going to be great.

At the same time we’ve got some loops, synth and sounds done by a brilliant guy called Dave Lynch in London, very fresh and edgy.

Meanwhile, in Eastbourne, we'll be adding keyboards to the record. There are a few songs that really need some driving piano, other bits that cry out for some tasty organ bedding. Mark Edwards is doing the session, he’s an amazing pro who has worked on literally everything for years. He’s one of those ‘do it all in an hour’ guys, who you only need three takes with. It’s amazing to watch.

There are a few more sessions coming up before things are finished, including a day with a gospel choir. I’ll keep you posted.
