POSTDOCTORAL WORK
I finally finished my PhD a few weeks ago, which means I've got time for some ROCK activities again. One of these is the blog, which is very much back in business HERE:

If you're interested in what the PhD was actually about (and who wouldn't be?!?) you can read a little bit about it on the aforesaid blog, starting HERE:

SOLO ALBUM
I've also started work on a new solo album, featuring a bunch of songs accrued over the past few years. I'm about 70% of the way through recording it, so all being well it should be out in a couple of months.

AND FINALLY
The rest of The Validators have been busy lately too. Frankie has recorded an EXCELLENT solo album of his own, for instance, which you can find HERE:

It's also featured on the GRATE Trust The Wizards podcast, HERE:

Meanwhile Prolapse, featuring our very own T Pattison, have re-released two Peel sessions, which you can find right HERE:

That's the lot for this time, thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Mark
