I know, I know it's been an age since the last update, but to be honest I'm sure you'd rather have the summary version than the long drawn out ramblings... You wouldn't? Tough. Anyway, in summary the 12 new songs that make up the new album are finally written (bar 3 sets of lyrics). The producer will be the rather talented and inspirational David Lawrie, whose left-field aural soundscapes are rather different than my genial homespun tunes, but of course that's what makes him the ideal choice. The recordings should take place over the summer, at a leisurely pace to enable me to watch as much of the World Cup as possible. The plan is to have a finished album by October, so you can expect it next year. In the meantime, there's life in the old album yet. Radio Aire's 'Larry and Paul' will be playing "The Girl Who Broke Her Own Heart" on their "Leeds Music Scene Battle" section of their show this Sunday 11th around 9pm. There's a text vote, which I'll almost certainly lose, but feel free to prove me wrong! More news in a decade - or sooner...
