The Moonstruck Project

The Moonstruck Project was the brainchild of record producer Graeme Young and Guitar Virtuoso Alan Frew.

Released in 2010, the project garnered a fair amount of airplay and support from underground radio stations in Britain and The USA. Some of the songs were also used by DJ's in Goth themed nightclubs.

Despite attracting a cult following on social media and receiving a number of positive reviews, the project had very little commercial success. This was in large part due to Young's lack of business acumen and stubborn refusal to engage with business people in the music industry, with which he'd become disenchanted after years working as a sound engineer.

The tracks were recorded over several months at Graylands Studio, which was a thirty two track setup in an acoustically treated room in the flat Young rented at the time, recording sessions being fitted in between Frew running a guitar school and being on the road touring songs from his solo album, Go Easy.

The Moonstruck tracks can still be listened to on Reverbnation, Soundcloud and on Young's Youtube channel.
