Fine night just past (though I could have strangled a few kids today). Good to meet up with yourself and Stewart. Be nice to grab a pint with you some time soon - leave me a message if you're going out!
Listen to Richard's songs at www.myspace.com/richardfcook. Richard is a young singer songwriter from Edinburgh whose influences include R.E.M, Paul Simon and Oasis. Richard has a very distinctive voice which is used to channel some excellent tunes.

Anyway, if you're feeling a lack of ... something rather loose but indefinable, with a whiff of latin-folk-punk-jazz-growl to it ... in your music collection, they're free to download.
