Well after a largely lets get fat Christmas it's all now back to work (well trying to get some work that is, I'm (Rob) out of it at the moment. And I don't mean out of it out of it from doing large amounts of food and wine and the like! I mean out of work) and rehearsals back on course. We have found another rehearsal studio as Bally Studios twats turned out to be just lying, deceitful, untrustworthy parasites.
We are now at a place (Creeksidestudios) where it is clean, organised and professional. The crew there couldn't be more helpful. We have had one rehearsal at Creekside so far as Keith and Neil were both pretty ill over Christmas and we had to miss all our other bookings, but last weeks jam was cool though, the sound good and the atmosphere encouraging and all of us are most definitely looking forward to the next session.
Thinking of work, where the bloody hell has it all gone? This recession is biting hard over here, I mean talk about a decline in economic trade and prosperity, its just getting worse over here (UK). Thanks to the hike in VAT everything seems to cost a third more that it did a month or so a go. Trying to keep on top of mortgages and council tax is becoming a bit of a chore to say the least. Bloody council, all out for themselves, coffers in ones own pocket it looks like to me!
Still the sun is out this morning, my girl is off work to day and ideas are starting to come through with regard to making a living.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Rock on all.

PS: Dave Wall, I noticed posted a comment to the DA Facebook wall mentioning about this blog, Saying . . . 'Well go on then write something' Mate, anybody can contribute and say whatever they want. Please feel free to write whatever you like and send it to me and I'll bung it up on the blog. Or you can just join the DA blog and comment straight on to it yourself. I hope you do write something, it'll be interesting I'm sure!
PPS: The vinyl DA boxset looks the business, completely bonkers though. It's colossal, weighs a ton and takes up so much space! bloody fantastic!
