Sunday’s were made for enjoying one of Emma’s lovely roast dinners and enjoying the atmosphere at The Eldon House



Make a day of it, and let “The Mandrake Project” bring you a piece of sunshine!

Hey AFBB,
hope you're having a great day.
i've just added my first music video (for my song NYC) to my page. Please check it out, It was made in Auckland by film maker Mark Prebble, and i'm real excited about it.
i'm also looking forward to setting up some shows together for when i get to the UK.
Smile lots, b

Oh, it's like christmas all over again! Cheers Santa!

Oxford Street in Bristol or London? Two very different but equally shite places.

Right now, i'm trying to figure out whether i should aim high or low. I could work in a pub again or go for something like camerawoman for some independent tv channel which is more interesting but probably equally shit pay. I could teach Spanish or English as a foreign language or succomb to walking the neighbour's dog. Anything to stop watching Jeremy Kyle and Mortgage and Loan ads, ya know?x

Hey Guys (again)

Just thought i'd let you know that now that i'm trying to 'get a job', High Flyer is my personal fave. Wish i could download it and listen to it while i'm trudging in the rain with a bundle of CVs. Cheers! (part II)

Hello.

Well done again for the other night. It was excellent. We left early in the end cos I was whining about having to run around lots at 7:45 the next morning.

We will definitely start organising the gig now.

Colin.
