This is an archive interview that we filmed in Glasgow with Calum Malcolm, Scottish record producer, recording engineer and musician best known for his super HiFi records with artists such as Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout, Simple Minds, Orange Juice, Mark Knopfler etc...

Nigel Jopson chats with Calum about his early days in recording, building and running his own recording studio (that he ran for 24 years - and is still running under new ownership), orchestral recording and much more.

The picture quality and sound quality is pretty poor. We hope to later extract the original footage from the DV tapes but while we bake those we thought this interview gave a good insight in to Calum's take on the recording industry back in 2006/7. We filmed this interview at The Mixing Rooms, a new recording studio in the centre of Glasgow that is now in different hands and hope to pay the studio a visit to see how it's changed when we can.

Some of the artists that Calum has worked with include: The Blue Nile, Clannad, Fish (Marillion), Go-Betweens, Hue & Cry, Nazareth, Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, Mark Knopfler, Prefab Sprout, Runrig, Simple Minds, Wet Wet Wet.....

Special thanks to Nigel Jopson for taking the time to chat with Calum!
