Mixing a 'Song for Christmas'
I loved this show!
Every Christmas 100’s of schools submitted entries for the Song For Christmas Competition.
The quadrangle was filled with artificial snow and Christmas trees – MAGIC.
I was Sound Supervisor and hand picked a great little crew – the tracks were recorded in London and mixed on Studio 2 ‘s 4000E SSL – 24 tracks and state of the art outboard gear.
Wayne Unwin won one year with ‘Snow in Moscow’ and this is him mixing in Studio 2 with Mike Massey. Wayne now works as a composer as Ty Unwin – his name pops up on the end of programmes.

I sang a solo in 1984. Didn’t win, a latin singing chior did! Remember having a great time. Stayed overnight at the uni’s hall of residence & enjoyed a good night in the BBC bar !
