I hope all is well and good and I just wanted to let you know I've just put up a new track called ECHO so I thought you might want to have a listen. :o) It's just the instrumental version I did not long ago but I do have a full section of vocal to arrange into this track so I'll keep you posted on the outcome! :o)
I appreciate your time and support and any comments posted.

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine

I've been living in Glasgow. In London today but back up North tomorrow. Next time I'm coming down I'll be in touch beforehand as it would be great to catch up. E x
Ta for the reply...yes it was indeed a late one as they always are there!!! Would be lovely to bring my band to London, but it being a 10-piece bossa band means it will probably be unlikely! Let me know if you're up north again & perhaps we can catch up over a beer or 2... x
