“I was extremely impressed by Heatwave's professionalism and broad repertoire.”
Malcolm McQuade, IBM
Greetings, just a short note to say that we are really looking forward to hearing you guys play live at Santa Pod this summer! Demo sounds top notch, nice work.
According to your profile, Dale is your drummer, but that guy to the left of the main pic looks nothin like him. In fact, he looks like that wally at BIMM who talks like Alan Partridge and has a tendency to turn his college presentations into stand-up comedy routines. Either that or, Dale, im sorry that the surgery went horribly wrong. Pics look great chaps and chappette, nice demo too. All my love forever xxx
