January, 2010,
2010 is looking like a busy year at Simple Productions.
We are currently working towards full album releases with Chaos Theory, Afterthought, Ben Brayley and 460 Kustom and Ian Gosbee. Also, look forward to a funk driven release in the near future from the band Chalkpit from Halifax. Keep your eyes and ears open.
We are please to start work on Stephen Huntley's second CD, and are proud to announce that his track "By the Light" is featured on a nationwide Salvation Army compilation CD. "By the Light" was the first song completed in Simple Production's new facility.
Happy New Year everyone.
