  We want to record more epic Commodore 64 music with the Hollywood-grade Czech Studio
  Orchestra. Recording dates are set for end of May 2021.

  We want to give fans the chance to watch the recording sessions from home, and to

  goodies.

  The project is led by Dr. Rob Hubbard, and recording will be at the end of next
  May. The team is: Robin Tait, Alisdair J. Pickering, Allister Brimble, Lee Bolton
