Wow. You like John Irving! God, Lost Tribes is going to have a lot to live up to.

Which one of his are you reading? A Widow For One Year is my creator's favourite (though I know a lot of people don't like it).

Hey Joe
Jodie and me are working on a little side project at the mo- dunno what it's called but the aim is to get 3 sonds together and come to yours to record em when we're next down. The first 2 we ought to do sober but the third one I think we should all be drunk and play the drums and make stupid noises. Let's make a day of it!
Love to Maria

Hi Jolyon

I'd like to be the first to commend you on the 'good vibes' I experienced at 'Valvetastic' on Wednesday. It is the one of the best studio experiences I have had so far. You sure know how to get the best performances out. Nice work. Jill x
