Local Excitement

My anticipation of the release of Berlin is starting to kick in. It also seems that the local community of Brinnington (which is where I live) are also in the spirit of being happy and it shows with their local funday, which will be on the weekend of the album launch.

Not only is Brinnington feeling "high" but even Stockport itself is enjoying some recent events, particularly with the town's main hall, which celebrates it's 100th birthday. What is the significance you may ask? Why it's July 13th, of course.

Finally but more importantly, it's not the Berlin launch which is getting all the attention, it's Brinnington's local chip shop, which decided to reopen it's doors after it ceased to be more than a year ago. It sounds silly but it really deprived the whole area. I don't know about you but I'll certainly be first in the queue for fish, a lot of chips, curried sauce and a can of coke to wash it all down. Signficance? Opening is July 13th. Ok, it ain't exactly the first place I'd want to go to celebrate an album launch... but it feels right at the same time.

I am due to be interviewed which will be available on a popular podcast which is supplied by Earth Academy Records. I'll be able to give you more information a little later on this week about this.

I had a good natter with my good friend and fellow Sound Commando, Colin Mansfield, regarding Berlin. He has convinced me to do a club/dance version of Elektroid & Night Lava. I'll let you know how I progress. It was always good to hear from him from a personal and musical point of view. His general wit and lovliness is what keeps me going sometimes. Not to mention my fans, of course. They allow me to continue on as I should. Their support is just ..... fantastic.
