Hello again, and how are we all today? This is going to be a short news brief today so here we go. It seems that having a link to the shop and MP3's has really worked for you all. The initial pre orders of "Seven" have been fantastic and it also seems that with the added bonus of being able to order "Broken" before it is officially released has really spurred you on. The option of hearing MP3's before you buy has been a real winner and judging by the feedback we have received via e-mail and through various chat sites it looks like you are all rather keen on the new songs. Thanks very much for the kind words and I know you will enjoy the live show when we hit the road.

The launch party is nearly upon us now and preparations have been going very well. The special 1 hour show will include 3 tracks from "Seven" plus the single and 1 track from "Revolutions", so be prepared for a great night ahead. The night is being recorded and videoed for a possible release, in conjunction with a more substantial release, later in the year. I will keep you posted. Talking of the launch night, a competition was posted for 2 people to attend the night and for 2 people who couldn't attend, a chance to win signed copies of the album. I am pleased to announce that we received our greatest number of entries to date for any competition we have posted with over 85% of your getting the answers correct. Well done and thanks for entering. The winners are now posted on the "Competition" page and unlucky to those that didn't win, but there will be more competitions for you to win great prizes. To the 2 people coming down on the 6th March, well done and see you then.

As some of you may be aware, the Classic Rock Society have hit problems with the HLC in Rotherham. I am led to believe that although future gigs may not be held there, all concerts that are posted on their site, and that includes ours on the 24th April are still going ahead and when a new venue is sourced or the problem with the HLC is wrapped up, then ourselves and the CRS will post the venue details immediately. Keep buying those tickets though as we will be up in Rotherham on the 24th April. Finally, the 4th installment of the "Diary" is now in place for you reading. Thanks for logging on and see you all soon and enjoy "Seven" and "Broken". Take care all.

Cheers,

Rob Reed.
