Recording Producers
Rowland has been recording and mixing professionally for over 10 years and is credited on a plethora of releases from indie and major labels. He is also in possession of a degree in the recording arts from the SAE institute, which makes it official.
Along with this technical nouse in the studio, Rowland is an experienced musician who has lived life on the road in the UK and in Europe, appeared at major festivals and on radio sessions - most recently with his current band, The Epstein.
Joe Bennett
Joe has been a busy musician, arranger, producer and live sound engineer ever since leaving school.
Joe has a knack of magicking the sound of an orchestra from his violin and trumpet, as heard on the likes of Hopewell, Danny & the Champions of the World, Goldrush and the Oxygen Ponies, and on several of electronic whizz James Rutledge's remixes. He has also produced recordings for Alphabet Backwards, Chris McMath and many others, and does live sound for Mr Fionn Regan, whilst also being a current member of the Champs and Dusty & the Dreaming Spires and appearing with Stornoway, Fanfarlo, Broken Social Scene and others live on occasion. His ambition is to play in every band at Truck Festival which he finds a moment to organise in his spare time.
Robin Bennett
Robin co-founded Truck festival and studios and has been involved in many records and projects. His favourite thing is complete album projects, working with songwriters on making sure their material is just so before starting, and then driving on the sessions to fever pitch, as heard on albums by: Black Nielson, Danny & the Champs, Goldrush, Common Prayer, Josh Bray, Co-Pilgrim, Fonda 500 etc.
He's also a member and co-producer of Danny & the Champions of the World (in an unlikely guise as session flautist/piano player) and singer/songwriter with Dusty & the Dreaming Spires, and previously Goldrush, and also finds time now and then to organise Truck festival and so forth.
Of course, Rowland, Joe and Robin love nothing more than to work together on projects; maybe yours could be next.
