VALIDATORS ALBUM
We've had TWO recording sessions for the album this month, and now have all basic tracks, most of the instruments and most of the vocals DONE. Could we possibly have it finished this year? Stay tuned to find out!

TOTALLY ACOUSTIC
I messed up the recording of last month's Totally Acoustic so cannot bring you the glory of Keith Top Of The Pop's set nor the inherently political rock power of me and Steve, but I DO have the wonderful sounds of Simon Love and A Little Orchestra for you, right HERE:

This month we've got Ben Moor making his long anticipated return and the Totally Acoustic debut of Emma Kupa, formerly of Standard Fare. It's going to be a FANTASTIC season finale - let's hope I manage to tape it this time!

AND FINALLY
Our own, our very own, Mr Timothy Pattison ("most important punk in the country" - Melody Maker) is back on the road with his old band Prolapse this month. Most of The Validators will be at The Roundhouse shouting for a drum solo, so if you're going we'll see you there!

And I think that's more than enough for this time - thanks for listening!


Cheers,

Mark
