So I went off to become a Mrs (please see the couple of photos below as evidence of this) , and took the trip of a lifetime around Asia.
Sarah and Dom outside Leez Priory right after 'I Do'.
Sarah ecstatic that the big day has finally arrived and she can down champagne with much abandon!
All this was happening whilst you lot were at home cautiously twiddling your thumbs and chewing fingernails, awaiting news of the latest A1 VOX happenings.
Well wait no more fine followers!
You will be glad to hear that whilst I was away the A1 VOX ship was calmly sailed by Mr Tom Heath.
Under the watchful eye of Captain Nove, and First Mate Chris O’Conner, Tom steered us nicely into November and December – (Captain Francesco Schettino please take note of how it’s done!).
So we are still technically sound and very much afloat.
Well Done Tom and a big thank you from all at A1 for your hard graft and periless voyages into the depths of the vocal sea.
Here at A1 we aren’t just your run of the mill studio. In point of fact we pretty much turn our hand to anything with much gusto.
It was due to this A1 VOX joie de vivre that we were able to throw a lifeline to one of our Danish clients.
They had been recording Denmark’s Next Top Model (a spin off from the Tyra Banks’ franchise in good ole U S of A), and needed to get some recordings taken as a matter of fashionista urgency from their Danish presenter, Caroline Fleming.
There were however a few hurdles to cross in order to gain said revered lines - the biggest being Caroline’s schedule.

There were however a few hurdles to cross in order to gain said revered lines - the biggest being Caroline’s schedule.
She was due to fly out on holiday the day of the recording, which meant that she was frantically finalising packing and unable to make it into the studio. This left her Danish Top Model counterparts pulling at their hair and making all sorts of guttural noises.
There was only one thing for it…If Muhammad can’t come to the mountain, …….then A1 VOX shall go instead!
So we sent our top man in the field Mr Chris O’Conner off to record Baroness Caroline Fleming in her very own home.
This was not going to be a mean feat as Caroline is a bit of a big deal and we had no idea what to expect.
Caroline pocketed a cool £400 million after splitting from multi-millionaire banker husband Rory Fleming – cousin to none other than James Bond creator Ian!
Seriously well connected people that aren’t short of a bob or two.
In fact Caroline is ‘so money’ that she became known as a reality star in her homeland when she filmed the rennovations to her family pile – Valdemars Castle.
You heard right people…..she owns her own castle. Stone the crows!
Since her divorce she has found happiness with Fellow Dane and Arsenal premier league ace, Nicklas Bendtner. So it is a case of Arsenal 1 Palace 1 for the gorgeous, stinking rich pair.
So Chris made his way to an undisclosed, extremely exclusive, neighbourhood.
It seems that this area is so ‘well to do’ that the mere presence of an unknown face causes the police to question anyone who doesn’t walk around with a chihuahua in their handbag and go by the first name of Darrrrrling.
Chris made it to Caroline’s modest abode where he had to wait in the hallway with the conceierge until she was ready to receive him.
Once in, the recording took a total of 5 minutes to complete. Chris said that Caroline was very professional, giving him two reads of the script before sending him out with a signed picture of herself.
Job Done!
Our Danish clients were delighted and said that Caroline must have been impressed with Chris and his lack of intrusion to her day, and her home, as she was very amenable towards him and told the client that all had gone very well….apparantly not everyone rings in such high praise.
So if you have a job….. and no one else can help…..maybe you should hire…The A1 Vox Team!!!!!!!!!
Back at A1 VOX Central this rugged Northern type by the name Ralph Ineson came in to offer up his rich Yorkshire accent.
Ralph is best known for playing the character of Chris Finch (aka Finchy) in The Office.
‘What’s the difference between a fox and a dog?.......About 8 pints of lager!!!!!!!!!!!!’
Classic Finch.
The travelling Sales Rep and David (Ricky Gervais’ character) were debauched partners in crime. His appearances in the office consisted of unprintable language and innuendo. He was, however, unfathomably successful with women.
‘So I get there, she’s aged 19, Ferrari chassis, fantastic set of shelves and legs up to her arse. Muchos tequilas later I’m in a cab with her’.
Ralph took a turn in Hollywood blockbusters First Knight and Jonny Depp’s From Hell. Most recently you may have seen him in Spooks and playing Amycus Carrow in the Harry Potter films.
'Eh By Gum' he were a lovely lad and a pleasure to have at the Towers.
Well that is all for this week folks.
It is an absolute pleasure to be back in the breach. I for one am looking forward to sharing 2012 behind the mic of Soho’s friendliest studio with everyone out there in the vocal stratosphere.
Till next time when Chris meets one of his all time idols and Ellie Howell features in our next ‘A1 VOX can do Anything – and More!’ special session report.
