Im sitting here in Pat Collier's studio feeling relieved tha we're here. We've been going round in circles for the past couple months trying to get the sound right on the new album and as much as we tried cos the pennies dictate your choices, we couldnt work out why it sounded wrong! ANy how, cut a long story short we needed Pat's help again, and im glad we're getting it. He's so kool, kalm yet amazing rock n roll comes out of his studio!!
Completely missed all dead lines - but so glad to be here now - better late than never :)
Here's soem info about his studio, when i gto time i'll maybe to a wee write about him, he was orginal bass player The Vibrators !

so, after making a start to this site, it all stopped when the band was busy recording backin vocals with Dun 2 Def singers onfriday night, it all went really well, was great fun - very relaxed environment - and karen was a little star too : ) but i was suffering with the bloody flu .. we finished in the early hours then i passed out but i think the others stayed up chattin/ drinkin the night away .. went to see me dad at the weekend, was good for my health doing that.. the more i understand him, the more i understand myself and i appreciate knowing him .. specially more valued not knowin the mother at all..
but when i got home sunday i just fell on my bed and could not get up again until today .. really bad chest/ flu thing ..
just as i saw a glimpse of life .. got an email from the drummer sayn he'd hurt his arm and couldnt play on friday .. cancellin is not an option in my eyes anymore but god i was depressed .. to cut a long story short after checkin anywhere and with anyone found a drummer who's not only available but also palyed with some heros !! iggy pop, bowie, johnny thunders, heartbrakers and loads of other peops .. he made my day saying he'd play with us ..it really felt like the goddess of drums brought him ... and uncle simon said he thought there may even be an god or goddess of drums in mythology .. i wasnt sure .. but its a nice idea.. so onthat sweet note am gonna go to bed now, and try and get this cough cold to go away ..
need to get more help with this site speading the word and gotta do more coding features .. but it will all have to wait rome wasnt built in a day and neither was ffruk lol.
