HAYDN BENDALL

Represented by REBECCA DUNCAN
E-mail: rebecca AT duncanmanagement.com

In spite of being somewhat loathe to organise a curriculum vitæ I have bowed to subtle and consistent pressure to write something. I suppose one may call it a sketch of not only about work but also my attitudes and some of the circumstances that I suspect had something to do with shaping them.

Although always passionately interested in music, I had not an inkling that I would one day be fortunate enough to earn my living from this practically all consuming hobby. As a student I had my sights on medicine or teaching. I was working towards these ends after a two years spell at Orange, a state of the art Ampex 4 track studio in New Compton Street – now demolished! I studied for a degree in sociology whilst I was working for the piano manufacturer Steinway & Sons as a piano tuner/technician. Psychology proved to be, at the time, fascinating – particularly research into asylums and institutionalisation. Thus recording studios.

Ken Townsend and Mike Gray from Abbey Road agreed to employ me part time for a while until a full time vacancy appeared. After a year of working most evenings, nights and weekends, Ken, to my amazement, offered me full time employment. The idea was that I would be taken on for a three-month probationary period. I was tremendously excited although as the first day for me to report for work, as an employee, was April Fool’s Day there was a little voice saying to me “is this real?” As it turns out I was never told whether or not I got the job. I still get the little voice!

I was employed for over 17 years at Abbey Road, the last ten of them as senior engineer leaving in 1991, I think, to pursue an independent career.

As a result of working at Abbey Road for such a length of time I was introduced to quite possibly the widest selection of music and productions that any studio in the world could offer. This huge palette develops attitudes and tastes that tend to become more and more catholic as time progresses. More often than not I’ve found, much to my pleasure, that my preconceived ideas about a particular style of music have been turned upside down, or at least sideways.

I spent some considerable time working with Eric Woolfson, helping to develop three of his musicals, Gaudi, Gambler and Poe. This involved not only extensive programming, arranging, recording and mixing but also co-ordinating and consulting with sound designers, light designers, directors and various technicians within the theatre as well as of course the artists and ensembles for stage and cast CDs.

Inevitably people are going to say, “Who has he worked with then?” I personally don’t think these lists are particularly illuminating, rather like the league tables published for schools and universities that do not necessarily measure their suitability for certain students. I know that all of the tremendously talented artists I have worked with over the years would make fantastic records with or without my intervention. I know that, you know that, every other musician, producer and engineer knows that but few will publicly shout about it.

What is one to do? Give in, I suppose.

Travel has always been a truly enjoyable aspect of my professional life and I’ve worked extensively in Europe, North America and Australasia. I was a consultant to Whitfield Street Studios and I find the lecturing I do at various universities in Britain particularly stimulating. I’m also involved in writing a fair amount for various professional magazines. I’ve been invited to design a course and lecture at the Gateway Professional Development Training College for the Sound and Music Industries. Some rather desperate colleagues co-opted me on to the Music Producers Guild Board of Directors in September 2005 and I’m pleased to say that I’m now in the fortunate position of being represented by Rebecca Duncan, who I’m sure can provide a more pertinent overview than I, about most things!

Many thanks for ploughing through all this. - Haydn

Mick has been producing, engineering and mixing for over 30 years. Initially known for his work recording and producing new wave and punk bands such as Magazine, Public Image Ltd, Penetration and The Ruts, he had huge success collaborating with many other artists, including The Waterboys, Furniture, The Wonder Stuff, Frank Zappa, Ian Gillan, John Lee Hooker and Lloyd Cole.

Mick has a 25 year history withVan Morrison which persists to this day. He spent most of 2004, 2005 & 2006 extensively mixing Van's archive material, as well as live performances from the Montreux Jazz Festival, in 5.1 surround sound, for the first ever Van Morrison DVD.

His work has also featured many left-field and ground-breaking artists including Tangerine Dream, Xmal Deutschland, Manuel Göttsching (Ashra) and Southern Death Cult.

2007 Second Person | "The Elements" | Eng/CoProd | Sellaband

**Jules** · 3rd June 2007, 09:31 PM

Born: 27/4/50, Lautoka, Fiji.
Educated: Fiji, Singapore, Australia (Sydney)

1970's Mike plays bass and writes with esoteric space-funk group Gong, only the second signing to the nascent Virgin Records.

1977 After leaving Gong Mike puts together his own group, Strontium 90, with musicians Sting, Andy Summers and Stuart Copeland, who go on to enormous success as The Police. In 1997 the recordings of this group are re-released on Sting's own record label Pangaea.

1980's Mike begins producing records regularly, yielding a string of Top 10 UK Hits, including:

Martha and the Muffins Echo Beach OMD Enola Gay, Souvenir, Messages Blancmange Living on the Ceiling Flock of Seagulls I Ran (US Top Ten) Wishing (If I Had a Photograph...) DNA (Grammy award winner) China Crisis Wishful Thinking

Other internationally top selling albums (sales in excess of 500,000):

Joan Armatrading

Berlin (U.S.)

The Alarm

Gang of Four

Julien Clerc (France)

La Union (Spain)

Fisher-Z

Gowan (Canada)

1982 Mike receives a Grammy award from the U.S. National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for his work on the Flock of Seagulls track DNA.

1987 Mike becomes a founding member of the Record Producers Guild (now known as MPG - the Music Producers Guild) and as of May 2005 is currently Chairman.

1992 As international co-ordinator, Mike is instrumental in organising the first ever rock concert in Red Square, Moscow.

1993-95 Mike runs his own record label, Mauve Records, specialising in singer/songwriters. Although finding only limited commercial success, Mike gains valuable experience in the many essentials of running a record company, from promotion and marketing to manufacturing, distribution, licensing and accounting - the joys of the small label experience!

1996-99 Mike begins playing bass again with Gong, completing 3 world tours including the USA, Europe and Japan, works with the GAS label on special projects, recently the You Remixed album of early Gong material revisited by contemporary dance artists including The Orb, 808 State, The Shamen, Ken Ishi and System 7.

2000-01 sees the release of a new studio album with Gong, produced by Mike, and tours of the US, Europe and the UK, including Glastonbury Festival where Gong headlines the Avalon stage.

2003 Mike forms his own group called House of Thandoy with guitarist Steve Higgins (Karmakanics) and drummer Eddie Sayer (Lights in a Fat City, Third Ear Band, Courtney Pine) playing jazz/funk. The group perform at Glastonbury Festival, and at the Royal Festival Hall, London, in October.

2002-06 Mike embarks on a teaching career and currently lectures at the University of Glamorgan and at Thames Valley University - Ealing College of Music and Media - in Audio Technology.
