Usually I use Audacity to record but the programme isn't working properly despite me removing it and reinstalling, so I was looking for another one. Has anyone heard of Hi-Q recorder? http://www.roemersoftware.com/free-sound-recorder.html

I'm a bit worried about downloading a programme I have never heard of...

Or can anyone recommend anything that's free to download?

You could try RecordPad. Need a microphine to record the sound obviously.

Thanks for your suggestion, I have downloaded it.
