I had a great holiday in Canada (thanks, Gareth and Anita, for your wonderful hospitality) and now Simon and I are back home. He’s back to school and Ice Hockey (good result last night against Elgin, 8-4) and I’m back to working with the band.

My songwriting buddy from Arbelos, Noel has been writing a new Christmas song and I’ve just added some bass, lead guitar and vocals. It should appear soon, probably as a charity download from our UNICEF fundraising page (last year’s (http://www NULL.unicef NULL.org NULL.uk/myfundraising/ViewFundraiser NULL.aspx?id=88A08DA4-8B50-498E-99DB-12605232E027)).
