Kevan Gallagher

November 2021 Interview

Mike Exeter talks with Kevan Gallagher, a self-taught guitarist who has worked in-house at many of London’s top studio.

Kevan was fortunate in learning his craft working with many of the best engineers and producers assisting at Battery Studios. Later, after working at several other top studios he was based at Marc Angelo Studios where Kevan recorded many string sessions for classical and jazz artists. He has since been busy as a freelance engineer working with many major artists such as Annie Lennox and Ronan Keating.

Kevan specialises in recording and mixing a wide range of pop and rock music, with a particular emphasis on great songwriters. In this interview at a private studio in the UK, we have an hour long chat about what makes a great recording and so much more...

The video was shot with two cameras but for technical and artistic reasons we decided to use just a single camera so please excuse some occasional re-framing of the camera that would usually be unseen. This was shot with the intention that it could also be used in a future podcast so it's a really good video to listen to while doing other things but we hope you find this as interesting as we did and welcome your comments and thoughts that this discussion raises :-)

Many thanks to Mike Exeter for taking the time out to record this and to Gavin Backhouse for letting us use his beautiful private studio to film in.
