The Band
Synthesiser: Paul Todd
Synthesiser: Paul Todd
Note: In previous collaborations between Alan Ayckbourn and Paul Todd the majority of the music had been played by a live band; for The 7 Deadly Virtues this posed more of a challenge. As a result, the majority of the backing tracks were pre-recorded (featuring synthesisers, bass guitar, pianos, drums and percussions). Two synthesisers were used ‘live’ to embellish the pre-recorded material, both played by Paul Todd.
