Despite all your hassles with the amp last night you guys were still excellent.
I brought a mate with me having stumbled across you the other week and he was suitably blown away too.
Keep doing what you do guys. The music speaks for itself.

I just gave my ears to 'Yoga for Cats'.
Its really nice. I didn't realise you had a new track up. but i am glad i found it.
It has a certain vibe to it that i cant put my finger on.
But its a good vibe.

Hearing things like that makes me feel the need to be in a group of good musicians. It can get lonely on your own.

haha.

Keep it up!

William.

So hard to keep up to date on peoples music when your friend list gets silly big.

Just giving the track another spin.

Hello Another new track has just flopped out of my fingers.
And thanks for listening to Morse Code.

But I'm not sure what a 'ring mod' is.

Call me crazy!

I'm not up to date with the lingo obviously.

Also. the songs may sound a little fuzzy. thats because I'm putting them together in audacity as i don't have anything like Cubase or any music program at all actually.

But still.

The new track 'Reel' is probably my favorite yet.

Thanks again everyone!

always a great help.


take it easy.

will.

cheers Matt.
Ive been doing a lot of composing recently and every time i learn a little bit more. so its nice to hear some positive feedback.

You are also a very talented bunch.

Oh something ill throw in there for good measure. I have just acquired a fender Jazz fretless Bass. Oh the joy!


Thanks again.
