The weeks seem sure to start rolling into one and other. It’s been crazy! We spent a day transfering the analogue tapes onto a digital format at Sensible Music with Jon Moon, and then Tom and I ran them over to Producer Howie B, who is now working with us on the new album. Howie and his engineer Ben are, as we speak, putting the finishing touches to what we recorded down at Jim Riley’s. We’ve been popping in throughout the week, and spent the evening up there last Sunday doing some over dubs. Its sounding pretty wicked. The whole album should be sorted within a few weeks, so we’re all really excited to hear the results.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support Tom and me last week. Despite a slow nervy start in Portsmouth, the gigs soon gained pace.  Though it took us a while to get used to it being just the two of us, we got there in the end. Taking a few new tracks for a test drive was cool, plus we got to dust down some of the older songs and breathe new life into them. All in all, great shows, especially in Maidstone and Medway, which rounded off a mental week – the crowd were in high spirits, and we loved every minute of it. Aprils mission will be whipping the rest of the band into shape. Our good brother Bob has been sorely missed, but he returns with the fools, so we’re all looking forward to playing with him again. Will be a fucking joy!

This week seems sure to continue in the same fashion as the last, waiting for Bob to return, and zipping around London with Tom, probably popping in to see Howie a few times, and throwing ourselves into the album art work. Watch this space, we’ll be updating you guys and girls as we go.
