So it's finally happened I went into the recording studio to record the first song of the new album, a duet with Jonnine from HTRK called "I Know A Girl Called Johnny". I's been so long since I was in the studio to do anything of my own that I was quite disturbed, also everything that could go wrong did. BUT...it turned out really well, Jonnine was just fantastic, I was still writing the music as I taught it to her. So there we are it will happen. I've just got a bit more writing to do and then we are back in. So wish me luck, this record will be great with all the girls and cats and poison you have grown to know and love.
