To all those who might be interested, I have a couple of musical happenings to shout about. First off, my one time side project The Bon Bon Club have a new single, Sex on Fire, out now. It's a trio of covers, served on a 3” mini-CD that comes wrapped in a sweetie-bag with a gorgeous illustrated postcard. And a track from it is on the NME stereo this week:

Secondly, my garage rock Sheffield supergroup The Millipedes have an album available to pre-order right now. It's called Shake Your Bones, and it's no ordinary album, it’s actually three 7″ singles that form a box set, complete with badges, a bonus CD and original artwork. We also have some gigs coming up, in London and Sheffield.

And finally, I have new band. A brand new band: we're called Nature Set, and you can hear our demos on our MySpace page:

We have decided to call it a day.

The main reason for this is that I suffered from a stroke in June and unfortunately I do not know when / if I will be well enough to play guitar again.

On behalf of the band I'd like to say a big thank you to anyone who ever came to one of our shows, bought one of our records or danced to one of our songs in a club. Thank you, if it wasn't for you the whole thing would have been pointless.

Finally on a personal note, thanks for all your well wishing messages.
