(YOU MAKE ME FEEL) SOFT ROCK
The video for '(You Make Me Feel) Soft Rock' is out NOW and is a) GRATE b) like 'Take On Me' via 'Roobarb & Custard' on MS Paint. You can see for yourself HERE:

The song is taken from our lovely new album 'Still Valid', which is very much available to buy in all sorts of ways - full details HERE:

TOTALLY ACOUSTIC
Last month's show, featuring Owen Tromans, James Brodie, and Keith Top Of The Pops and His Minor UK Indie Celebrity All-Star Backing Band, was a cracking finale for the current run of shows, as you can hear for yourself on the podcast HERE:

We're taking a couple of months off from the live shows, but watch out next week for the first of TWO podcasts featuring previously unreleased tracks from many of the past year's acts. It's going to be BRILLO!

AND FINALLY
I've been told that Spotify Playlists are all the rage these days, so I've had a go at doing a couple - one is a tribute to Soft Rock, the other is all about politics. It's cross-media marketing gone MAD!

And finally, listeners to the current edition of 'The Beer O'Clock' show will hear some VERY funky music at the start - it's a short section of 'Leaping Hare In Broadgate', an unreleased track from the 'Still Valid' sessions!

And I think that's MORE than enough for this month - thanks for listening and see you next time!

Cheers,

Mark
