But I haven’t JUST been thinking, I’ve been ‘doing’ too…and plotting…and sticking my nose into other projects….so I haven’t quite been off the face of the world...but maybe a little bit just off my face…but that’s what the holiday season does to you

Reckless General Records are doing pretty well, and that’s all down to bloody hard work and The Soviets www.wearethesoviets.co.uk They recorded the video for the single ‘The Waitress’ and generally have been getting critical acclaim for everything they do. They have a bit of a Midas touch going on. All that glitters ain’t gold, and these boys are certainly not glittery, but very much gold. Watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzLQFMEijeI

We are very sad to have lost Iain Crummie to a Japanese heart…but although he’s not down the road anymore – he’s only on the end of the phone. And actually not being in the close proximity is often better, especially after one of his nights on the beer and curry. Out of sight, thankfully out of smell, but definitely not out of mind. He’s still throwing in his two-penneth pretty much everyday  though

And me? Well, I’ve been watching from afar…couldn’t quite compete with Miss Great Britain for the Waitress role in the video…so I’ve been working feverishly behind the scenes…! I have been pimping myself out to a fair amount of covers gigs, which not only pays off some of the bills, but has given me enough time to get a bit of perspective on this mad world. I have been very lucky in the fact that the very talented John Elliot and Andrew Archer from Loft Productions have agreed to produce my E.P. We have worked on some demos, and they are sounding pretty exciting. I have butterflies  There has been a slight time set back and will be there in February and get it out to yous lot soon thereafter. Thank you for being so patient!

Just one last thing….The March of The Soviets begins in March (funnily enough…!) – see the myspace for details of where to catch the boys playing! www.myspace.com/wearethesoviets I’ll be there in the audience for most of the gigs…throwing my pint around…come say Hi!
