The Demon Barbers, who celebrate their 15th anniversary this year, have teamed up with Grammy & Emmy Award winning producers for their upcoming new album 'Disco At The Tavern' Donal Hodgson and Kipper who are best known for their work with Sting, were introduced to the band by The Wilson Family following their recent involvement in Sting's latest project, 'The Last Ship' Both Donal & Kipper have impressive CVs: As Sting's current recording engineer, Donal is at the top of his game (his Emmy was awarded in 2011 for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing for his work on A&E's Private Sessions, Sting at Red Rocks) he has also engineered and mixed recordings for many high profile bands such as Primal Scream, The Police and Tina Turner. Kipper's musical career took off in the 90s with his own band 'One Nation' and he soon became in demand both as a musician and producer; teaming up with Gary Newman in 1992 and being awarded a Grammy as producer of Sting's hit album 'Brand New Day' in 1999. He has recently been invited to take on the role of Artistic Director for Leadbelly Fest at The Albert Hall later this year featuring, among others, Van Morrison and Jools Holland. Since winning 'Best Live Act' at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2009 The Demon Barbers have focussed on their Folk & Hip Hop Dance Extravaganza 'The Lock In'. Following a number of successful UK tours, including high profile shows at Glastonbury Festival and 5 star reviews at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013, they headed back to the rehearsal studios to begin work on the new album.
