The last time I looked at my Myspace was Jan 2008 so I thought that it was about time that I gave it a bit of an update!!
Thanks so much to Dave Wood (you can hear more of Dave with the band Malinky www.myspace.com/malinkymusic ) for playing these few tracks with me and to Julien Batten (www.myspace.com/quaysidestudios) for doing such a fab job recording and mixing five tracks in a day!!
