52 Hours in Birmingham

Mark Le Gallez, Paul Hooper-Keeley and Emma Page first came together at Robannas Recording Studio & Rehearsal Rooms in Birmingham at 4pm on Friday 3^rd June 2022. The intention was to rehearse and record ‘One Last Time’ and ‘Kiss Me’ for a 7” single, with demos of the two songs having been circulated in advance. But something special happened in that 4-hour rehearsal session with the instant chemistry between the three musicians resulting in additional songs, previously unheard by anyone but the songwriter, being thrown into the mix and coming together almost instantaneously. The Mark Three were born. 

Over the next two days, recording and mixing sessions from 10am to 8pm took place, engineered by the wonderful Miguel Seco until, after 52 hours in Birmingham from the band’s formation, The Mark Three had the masters to the 5-songs on this EP in their hands. 

We hope you enjoy these recordings and, if so, The Mark Three may just descend upon Robannas again to see what we can come up with over another 52 hours in Birmingham.
