To Quote Clint: “Music is my passion. I love its diversity; no two bands are the same. Whether I’m recording a rock band or a 30-piece orchestra, I get the same buzz. I love the process of making records and guiding bands through that process”.

Clint was recorded in a short video while at Modern World Studios in the UK but he spends a lot of time atYork Street Studios in New Zealand – we hope to feature York Street one day soon.

Way up in North Wales, George Shilling tracked ace producer Dave Eringa at Bryn Derwen Studios and fired the questions that ranged from serious to ‘curved ball’…. We hope that you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed meeting Dave, a true great guy and bound to be ‘mega producer’ one day! So, who is Dave Eringa? That’s what we were at Bryn Derwen to find out. Dave is one of the names that we hear mentioned all the time but for some reason hadn’t met him so we were relieved to find that he is one of the most entertaining and talented producers that we’ve yet found.

For all of the biog blurb visit his website but you most likely know that he’s produced loads of the Manic Street Preachers work but maybe his work with Kylie Minogue is less familiar… Watch the video and in 20 minutes you’ll know loads more about the producer that we tip to be ‘mega’ in the near future!

Quick Time 7 or above is needed to view so visit Apple to download the latest drivers.

Special thanks to all at Bryn Derwen Studios, George Shilling and Dave for his time. A special mention must go to Greg Haver too.

Please let us know what you thought of the video in the comments box below.
