pre football dinner

I'm eating Nic's fine Penne Arrabiata prior to going out to watch Liverpool vs Chelsea. We'll be rooting for the reds, but quietly cos we'll be in Putney.

Much recording was done today, working on a new song by James. Quite a haunting number, with a true James Fortune lyrical twist at the end. We've got quite a diverse bunch of songs for the album. It is ever thus as we have three very distinctive songwriters. However, the production will hold the whole thing together, and the range of the songs should make the album a 'journey' as our producer Jon suggests.

Tomorrow we're off to meet the production team behind our Edinburgh show. It'll be interesting to hear their ideas - we've certainly got big plans.
