Hey Jon! I miss you guys too terribly! That's amazing, congratulate him for me!
I can't wait to hear your new songs! I'm regularly going on the website to see the news! : )
All is well here, starting a new job in September and going around the south of France in a few days. I haven't explored my country for a while! Exciting!

if you could set one up, or get us on any bill we will totally be down there! seriously. the EP artwork took about 8 hours to do altogether (that's about 25 copies) and drove me to point of insanity haha. i'm glad people like it though. wreckon i could interest you in a copy one day? x
just off to see you guys at the fleece. going to come down and probably have way too much to drink and tomorrow think - oh nooo! I shouldn't have done that while trying to get my mangled head around the first of our ' FREE DRINKS SPECIAL" gig at the LOUISIANA. there's dedication for you. If our LOUISIANA gig is a failure I shall blame the sky is blue for luring me out of my little den to hear there epic tunes. In future please become crap so i don't have to come and see you when I should be tucked up in bed.
Hey, looking forward to playing with you in July - I got a CD from a mutal friend a few years ago, very nice! We're playing on the 22nd May at the Louie - pop down if you guys are about!
Thought you'd like to know that we've got a few gigs coming up. Mon 5th in the Fleece Mon 12th at Mr Wolfs Fri 13th (ooh err!) at the Mayor's Arm's. Maybe see you there!

looking forward to your fleece gig. Me, Jer and Suze were just talking about you whilst listening to antarctica in the car. The likelyhood is you'll see the three of us on the night, jer's really into your stuff as well. Jon R - your recording of 'cold' has come out really well and matches up to the other stuff on the album nicley. I'm launching the album on wed feb 6th at the louis, I'll give you a free copy next time I see you.
