(MJ Hibbett & The Validators FACT, November 30th 2020)

Hello all, and welcome to this CHRISTMAS READY edition of the newsletter. Let's get started!

I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT
Thanks to everybody who's already bought a copy of our latest single 'I Don't Have To Worry About That' - it's still very much available in badge or digital form HERE:

Thanks also to the lovely people who answered the call to be in the accompanying (rather wonderful) lyrics video, which you can see HERE:

AT LEAST IT'S CHRISTMAS
We had plans for The Validators to record a new song for Christmas this year, but The Current Situation got in the way, so I've ending up recording it by myself instead. It's called 'At Least It's Christmas' and you'll find it in December behind one of the windows of the Joyzine Advent Calendar, HERE:

GOODBYE TO GREAT BRITAIN
This month I've been working on a song for Mr S Dietrich, who won "me writing a song" as a prize in the Cologne PopFest fundraising raffle. He asked for a "goodbye UK" song from a European perspective, so that's what we did. It was a WHOLE lot of fun to do, and you can hear the results later this month on his podcast, HERE:

JANE AND JOHN
I've joined a new band in Lockdown! It's called Jane and John and is a collaboration between myself and The Hits In My Hit Parade. Our first single, 'Our Year', will be out on Monday 14 December, but before that we've got another song, 'Is It Too Soon For Christmas?' coming out on the Very Cherry Christmas EP on Friday 4 December. You can find all the details on our Twitter and Facebook pages, HERE:

And that's enough for now I think - thanks for listening and merry Christmas one and all!

Cheers,

Mark
