GIGS WE'VE DONE

It's been a quiet month, with only a LOVELY Totally Acoustic and a GRATE night in Stoke doing 'My Exciting Life In ROCK'.
Things are going to be a lot busier in May!

RECORDS

our new album 'Regardez, Ecoutez Et Repetez' is - at long last - officially released on May 11th. You'll be able to buy it
then from most online retailers and download stores, or you can get it right NOW from our own shop, here:

Thanks very much to those who've already bought one, and if you haven't yet - well, jump in, it's GRATE, honest!

If you need encouragement, check out our new FREE download single, 'Being Happy Doesn't Make You Stupid', available here:

http://www.mjhibbett.net/beinghappy/

If you like it, please PROPAGATE it! We're still hoping to sort out a video for this too, but I'll let you know more about that when it's finished!


OTHER THINGS

I've got a song on 'Two Of The Beatles Have Died', a rather fantastic compilation of people interpreting/REACTING to a song of the same name, in aid of the British Lung Foundation. It's not like ANY other album I've ever been part of - further FACT available HERE:

I've also got a track on 'Life Has It In For Us', from those delightful people at A Layer Of Chips (http://alayerofchips.blogspot.com/). I've not got hold of a copy yet, but it's got some GRATE other bands on it!

And finally, being terribly modern, I've started TWITTERING. If that's the sort of thing that interests you please come and follow me - I'm @mjhibbett!

And I think that's about it for now - thanks for listening, and hope to see you ON THE ROAD!

Cheers,

Mark
