Yup,
The fact that Andy isn't doing this for a living has long been my proof that musical success has nothing to do with talent and good songwriting.

EP sounds ace Doog. Are the strings (violin) on In Foreign Tongue a guest musician?

Thanks mate, you and Kathie are both very kind. I still plug away, but it's purely because I love doing it still, rather than it being a 'career goal' or somet shit.
Yeah, my girlfriend Sal is playing the cello parts there- she's not really a cellist but dabbles in lots of instruments like wot I do. Everything else is Mellotron samples; the choirs and the wonky Stax-style brass at the end. Fucking love me a Mellotron, I will own one one day.

That's cool mate and understood.
One of the reasons I'm interested in Freddys Fostex 4 Track tape recorder is because I'd like to dabble again, but just can't get my head around newer technology. Anyway...
I was listening to the lyrics and wondered if there was some reference to the Spanish lady on track two?

My ex or 'the Spanish lady from my past'? Mmmmm bits and pieces, but the 'we're not even good friends' isn't a reference to my ex really; we chat and see each other occasionally. Still a bit raw, tho.
There's lots of dysfunctional romances I was able to reference on this EP, fortunately

Haha, tell me about it mate. I was thinking of the one from the past, I seem to recall the odd diary thread entry.
One thing I miss about writing is the outlet, even if it isn't direct and obvious you can get shit out there and kind of say, there, I said it.
You should get these on the radio - I heartily recommend Radio Wig Wam and Strawbery tongue Radio for getting music heard - both are very supportive of new music.
