Recording company Reelsound has just undertaken the production of its first Christmas CD of 2011 – in July!

John Rowley the head of the Reelsound mobile recording company told 4BR: "Every year we do two or three specific Christmas CDs for different bands. They are a great fund raising idea and are very popular with the bands and their supporters as they can be used to really maximise fund raising activities."

He added: "We usually record the CDs just before Christmas, but last weekend we were down in the New Forest making a recording for the Sandleheath Band –in July!"

Getting a recording sorted out in plenty of time to get to market is essential. Sandleheath will certainly gain the benefits as we are able to turn around the recording in plenty of time to enable the band to fully maximise the Christmas run upReelsound

Pay dividends

John revealed that the band’s early decision would certainly pay dividends – thanks to Reelsound’s expertise.

"Getting a recording sorted out in plenty of time to get to market is essential. Sandleheath will certainly gain the benefits as we are able to turn around the recording in plenty of time to enable the band to fully maximise the Christmas run up."

Blazing sky

The only draw back though was that it was a bit strange for John to be left whistling ‘Jingle Bell’s’ on the way home in the car, with the Summer sun blazing in the sky.

He concluded: "It was well worth it though. Reelsound provides the expertise and the band provides the music. It’s a great combination even if it does mean a few unseasonable tunes keep coming into your head!"
