GIG CONFIRMED:

I'm organising a gig to push the release of the album.

It will be at the Boardwalk, Sheffield on Sunday 12th December. There will have to be a small fee to cover venue hire, but all details have yet to be set.

BIG BIG thanks to Paul at Attic studios for helping out with the latest recording session!!

Frustrating.....

I have bands and solo artists ready to record but now I'm struggling with studio time...

Please bear with me!!  We'll get there in the end!

Recording has started!

Just got Beggars Empire's version of 'Beyond Control'...and after spending the day in the studio with them...all I'm saying is WOW!...Thanks again G2

Many thanks to The Jives who have recorded their version of 'Moving On'...it sounds AWESOME.

Greg Bish has sent me 'You Work It Out' and an older song 'Stop Before I Die'. Both are stunning accoustic versions and man he knows how to sing. Thanks Greg!

Big thanks to Beggars Empire who came to G2 Studios to record 'Beyond Control'...its sounding absolutely fantastic. I got to record the song I wrote on Radio Sheffield too.

BIG thank you to G2 Studios at John Street Sheffield for their help with this donating FREE studio time in aid of the British Heart Foundation!

Confirmed bands/artists:

The Jives...The Janskys...Beggars Empire...Thorn...Sara Daniels...Greg Bish...and me....more to follow as they are confirmed

( An idea of my previous work can be found here: www.soundclick.com/spreadercraig )

ALL done!!....all rough versions...and need some polishing obviously...

The cream of the crop will get full studio production for the forthcoming fundraising album. All songs cc Craig Veitch 2010

'Moving On' (All fourteen done!!)

'Pleasure And Pain' (complete with out of tune guitar...I'm on a deadline here!)

'Anyone But Me' (funky little ditty carried by a constant riff)

'You Work It Out' (Accoustic jobby)

'The Jokes On You' (realising there's more to life than how it pans out) 

'Song For Radio Sheffield' (part of a radio challenge to promote this)

'Miracles' (another favourite)

'Takin Me Some Back' (one of my favourites so far)

'We Once Belonged' (visiting a childhood place)

'Beyond Control' (throwing ideas out....very hastily recorded)

'You Are My Wealth' (ballad)

'Must See Must Have Must Do' (This needs full pop production)

'She's Got It Going On' (Nice groove)

'Get A Piece Of Me' (First one!!)

can all be heard here:

www.fawm.org/fawmers/spreadercraig

My name is Craig Veitch and I'm taking on the challenge set by the team at www.fawm.org (FAWM = February Album Writing Month) to write 14 songs in 28 days.

What better way to donate money to such a worthy cause!

The songs that are written will be like a sketchbook of ideas. These ideas will then be fully formed to create an album of music...which will then be for sale.

Profits from this album will again go straight to the British Heart Foundation.

After the February writing frenzy / sponsorship has finished I'll be working to track album sales / donations on this webpage for a further 11 months.

You can see my progress as I go at www.fawm.org/fawmers/spreadercraig

A selection of my recent projects including the latest Sheffield Wednesday song I was asked to write can be found here:

By the way...I'd love to hear of any ideas for songs you may have! Please get in touch at spreadercraig@yahoo.co.uk

Please...donate here...and be generous!!

Thank you so much.
