Newsletter - 24th December 2008

All,

This time of year provides the perfect opportunity to thank all those people who have: shown interest in what I've been doing this year; supported me; encouraged me; directly assisted with the writing, music, recording and videoing etc; been honest with me, and have bought me beer when they knew I couldn't return the favour! It has meant a lot, thanks.

I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

With Best Wishes,

Andrew

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 again and see you soon,

Andrew

batmobiling", that is basically being a "commitment phobe". Now I know some of you think I should be committed to an asylum but to counter the batmobiling claim I want to let you know that I have actually set a date for the first public performance of some songs I've been working on this year. Unsurprisingly it will be at R.I.S.C., and is on 11th December (2008!) at 9pm. Now this could be a car crash of spectacular proportions so it might just be worth just turning up.
