HTB

1993 till 2008 and counting. It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. I'm setting this up so I can keep my personal page at a lower level of friends basically. I'll do regular updates on tours etc from this page too, like the HTB website, which is www.hiddentalentbooking.com incidentally. If I add you it doesn't mean I'm going to work with you, this is just me, pretty much working alone, there's only so much I can do.
