NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR ONE WEEK ONLY!
This month I've written and recorded a whole brand new album for February Album Writing Month, called "Wonderful Wednesday", and am putting it on sale for oNE WEEK ONLY! I'm only going to make enough for people who pre-order it this week, so if you fancy owning a Genuine Collectors Item (with a BADGE too!) get yourself over to HERE:

http://www.mjhibbett.co.uk/releases/release.php?filename=wonderfulwednesday

Ordering finishes at 5pm on Monday March 7th, so get in QUICK! It'll be on bandcamp and maybe iTunes in a few weeks, but those versions won't be numbered, won't be actual CDs, and certainly won't come with a free badge!

TOTALLY ACOUSTIC
As you can see from the gig listings, we're BACK at The Lamb for another season of Totally Acoustic. We've got loads of great acts booked and will be podcasting again - all the details are on the webpage, HERE:

DINOSAUR PLANET: THE ALBUM
We've had some LENGTHY studio sessions this month, and now have a working version of the first half hour of the album, all segued together. It sounds AMAZING! Tom's in the studio tomorrow night to get the rest of it sorted out, and then Tim's back soon to start MIXING. We're a way of finishing it just yet, but the last EXPLOSIONS are nearly done!


IN OTHER NEWS
I'm playing at the Geekpop Virtual Festival, HERE from March 12th:
