It’s been an absolute pleasure providing audio consultancy and tech support for this amazing new Zoom musical / Panto, written especially for the Zoom medium and for children with special needs.

It’s called Dream Catcher and opens on Friday 4th December for two weeks!

repmusic provided technical (audio, visual, and Zoom) support for the show alongside live show designer Ash Day, enabling the cast to perform from home and achieving the best visuals and sound possible with the current restrictions, which included a rehearsal run through England’s second national lockdown.

It’s really good fun with a fantastic cast and a nice alternative to the Panto if you can’t get to one this year!

People in the UK will be able to watch our movie through the festival’s VOD channel, from 7pm 8th November, until 15th November, with pre-order available now! £5 and only available to people in the UK.

The movie was made by repmusic in collaboration with Creative Onions.

Robin is often asked which of his music is most true to him and which recordings to check out, so we’ve made a Robin Phillips Jazz discovery playlist on Spotify of the music he’s most proud of and feels is most indicative of him musically.

We hope you find some time to give it a play and that you enjoy it, especially during Lockdown.

To celebrate the beginning of Spring, we have just released the first studio video from the recording sessions for Robin’s album, Re-Versed. And as it’s Spring, we thought the first video should be Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most.

Click here to watch the video on YouTube.

The song was written by Tommy Wolff with lyrics by Fran Landesman. The track features Robin Phillips (vocals, piano, arrangements, producer), Brandon Allen (tenor saxophone), Jihad Darwish (upright bass), and Seb De Krom (drums). The song is featured on the Re-Versed album, which looks at the lost verses of the jazz standards. The album has received fantastic critical acclaim and Robin will be touring the album in Autumn ’20 / Spring ’21.

The song was recorded at the repmusic recording studio and was produced, mixed, mastered, and the video edit all done by Robin Phillips.

In 2019 Robin undertook the road trip of a lifetime, retracing the path of jazz and blues in America from Chicago down to New Orleans, on a Harley Davidson motorbike. The film coverage from this trip has become a documentary called ‘Back To The Source’.

The documentary was premiered at the Clarksdale Film Festival in Mississippi in January 2020. Whilst back in the US for the premiere, Robin filmed more footage for the final version of the film, including interviewing The Swampers bassist David Hood, and recording with the Dexter Allen Band from Jackson, Mississippi, in the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.
