All,

Thank you very much for supporting me last night.

It's hard for me to judge how well it went but everyone has been very generous saying it went well, and if that's the case it's because you made it very easy for me. Special thanks to Mr Windridge for sitting in the corner and making me look good. (:-) (Cheers mate for stepping in at the last minute, great job)

Anyway, you made it a very special birthday (did I forget to mention that? (:-) )

Thanks also to Richard Worthington, Daood Khan, Natalie Koldieg who took the video; Tutu Melaku and Will Gooding for allowing me to perform for the first time at RISC. A special mention and thanks to Jimmy Corrigan (Cat Brooks) and Ben Cox-Smith for allowing me to play before they did their sets.

Thanks again and see you soon,

Andrew
