Fleece Jazz at Stoke by Nayland Club©

Nick's Pictures and Dave's Recordings

For many years, now, Nick Rabett has been producing beautiful black and white photographs of musicians who have gigged at the club. Almost all of the photos in the brochure, and all of the popup and display photographs are his, except for some older photographs that were in the stairwell of The Fleece (which we no longer have room for).

Since August of 2005, Dave Lyons has been recording live gigs at the club.
If musicians wish to have a gig recorded, please look at this recording information.

Here are some chances to see and hear the musicians.

The following gigs were recorded at the Fleece, Boxford.

This 2002 gig was recorded, mixed, mastered, produced, and drawn by Andy Cleyndert. It is for sale at Andy's label, www.triorecords.co.uk.

And at Kersey Mill

And classical music at Lion Walk Church

Clip quality

The clips are mp3's, so the quality will not be at CD level. The recordings themselves are, in fact, better than CD quality.

Some notes on recording

The club, through Dave, now has the facilities for recording gigs. They are done for archival purposes (with the express permission of the musicians), or by request, and are not available for sale or copy.

If a band wants to request a recording, contact dave@jazzatthefleece.org.uk, and please, a little notice and a rig spec are really appreciated.

The recordings can be done in two ways.

For multi-track recording, the sound direct from the mic preamps is used, unequalised, no reverb, providing the largest amount of information from which to mix. A typical big mix might be That is 17 inputs. We can cope with 18.
