UPDATE: 19/02/09
A new year, a new chance to get on the road and work myself harder than last year.
Things are ticking over at the moment.
A fantastic start to the year was my feature in SickDrummer Magazine who were a great help and got me into their January issue (issue 4). If you haven't subscribed, then get to it!
BFW are just waiting for the final mix of the album, then everything will be way under way for a spring/summer release. Its a waiting game right enough ...
We have been getting stuck into our second album, already nailed a good 3 songs and are showing new signs of slowing.
Im not going to say anything about new material as of yet.
Im looking to get my teaching up and running after spending alot of time working on my own technique, reading etc.
Once the album is released I will upload some videos of me playing the songs and talking about my favorite parts, so you can have a good laugh!
Keep watching this space, Ali
