The recording
The first session for Michael Finnegan took place on Oct. 4th 2008. The backing track (drums, bass, guitar) was played and recorded live at Comfy Towers Studio in Nottingham, Linby. Some weeks later Mat Williams added the fantastic fiddle part. The track also features an interesting percussion instrument, called “The Bones”. See the video to hear Mat Williams explaining how the bones work.
