Ah Paulus. How are you sir? Still drift in and out of there on occasion :) Seamus has been playing in my band all last year so have been doing rehearsals in there. 2009 treating you well?
Yeah it's all good about uni, thanks for your message though. It'll work out, one day. I'm not meant to be doing that anyhow, the call lay elsewhere brother.
I'm doing the solo thing on the side, but definitely still searching for the drummer for the band. Too much work to let it amount to nothing, dig?
Figured you weren't interested because we didn't hear back, which is totally cool. :)
Hey Paul! The Grand Atlantics are going well for me :) Yes we did a show at the step inn fairly recently, that would have been us loading in. Always good fun! (More fun than loading out that's for sure!)
