Dear diary...
Yeah, well since I got made redundant from my last guitar string-fundraising position I haven't had much time to myself so I guess I should have lots to tell you, dear reader. Well, I do, but most of it is pretty dull so I'll try and come up with some highlights, in no particular order:
The esteemable Mr. Harrington and myself were interviewed on Radio BBC Berkshire by Henry Kelly a while back, to explain and plug the Fringe Festival, and a very pleasant experience it was too. Who am I? I am a very personable Irish gent, a consumate broadcasting pro who managed to make my - and I am assuming Kevin's - visit to the station a relatively painless experience and one that was over far too quickly as far as I was concerned. Top man, nice one Henry! Think the appearance managed to raise the interest levels in the fringe fest and bring it to the attention of a wider audience, so job done!
White Sunday are going through some exciting times as well - we've found our drum-bitch (sorry Tony.. is it too soon to be making jokey drummer put-downs yet?) and according to my gut instincts he's a winner. We're rehearsing frenetically to get ready for some low-key warm up shows around the place over the next few weeks before heading into a studio with *famous producer chappy* to record an EP for our management to bandy around the place. Actually, I'm not sure if the unsuccessful applicants are even aware that they were unsuccessful yet.. ah well, shit happens. Jim is writing new songs all the time and they appear to be getting better and better and better. One of them is in a Small Faces stylee, I'm using a vintage Fender combo these days and it's brilliant! I feel like Ron Wood in places, Jeff Beck in others, and we're all working together to get some new and exciting sounds down in the rehearsal room. After the enforced lay-off while we were searching for a drummer, it's hugely satisfying to get the ship back on even keel.
Errrm.. this girl dumped me recently, that wasn't so good. It's a long story, and I've decided not to name names or go into great detail, but apparently I was "boyfriend material" and she wasn't looking for that. Ladbrokes currently have the betting as: 2:1 - convenient excuse, 7;2 bad timing, 10:1 I said or did something stupid without realising it and turned her against me. Rrrrrrubbish, whichever way you look at it.
Fringe festival - as Mikey "Heff!" Hefferan has put so succinctly - is looking good. Which reminds me, I must phone people tonight and see what is up with a coupla things. Except I'm rehearsing tonight.. gah! Hmm.. some tactical fag-break phone calls are in order, I reckon!
Finished recording the most recent (hopefully not the last, but you never know..) Muf CD the other day as well! Can't wait to hear the final mix, it's being put through the Bleeding Ear Engoodenation process as I type this. Initial rushes were very impressive, we have A&R guys sniffing around us like bloodhounds at the moment (Alcoholics and Relatives, that is).
So yes, busy, busy, busy - as ever.
That is all. For now...

Possibly. Even re-bound sex hasn't really cheered me up hugely. Ah well, into every life a little rain must fall..
After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You find that I've take nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye
After the tears have washed your eyes
You find that I've take nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

I thought I felt a little used, but I realise now that I just felt sad that I wasn't going to be used anymore. Ah well, tis better to have loved and lost than never to have got jiggy with a cool chick at all.
