Hi,

At last a bit of time to take stock of everything that has been happening.

So the album is out and the response has been overwhelming. After what seemed like an eternity banging my head against a wall with my first album and the EP, people are really starting to dig what I'm doing.

I've done what I've always done which was to use the time and resources I had to record my very best efforts but that aside I took on board comments and advice and saved some hard earned cash and got in a great studio with a producer that was right for me and the songs.

This new album is the result and already after quite simply putting it on my site and Facebook the downloads started to happen, no i-Tunes this time just my own independent store. Also I sent the album as a promo to all the contacts I'd made after endless sleepless nights networking between work and family. The people that put music in film and on T.V responded and are interested, radio staions want to play the tracks and a promoter in Norway wants me to take the album on the road over there.

These are all small steps and somehow I've maintained my sanity and hopefully not neglected my beautiful family too much. I've taken risks with finance and to a certain extent my health. Along the way I've made new friends and there have been losses too. I must now keep the faith, stay strong and let the songs do the work.

I'll update as and when this journey develops.

Love and music.

Al.
