It was, of course, a terrible year for leaving the house. But I managed to contribute to the following records released in 2020, so in hindsight it doesn’t look too bad:

• The Staves & Adam Buxton – A Christmas Song for Joe Cornish which appeared on the Adam & Joe Christmas podcast – engineered, brass, piano
