Just very quickly my dear virtual friends...
its been a while since I updated this unread blog but I thought it wise to share with you the following:

1.
My website is now up and running - I built it all by myself and theres songs on there you can't hear elsewhere so get your peepers over to

www.emilybaker.co.uk.

Its been getting a good few thousand hits in the past few weeks...so check it out if you haven't already. Sign up to the mailing list too...i'll trade you an mp3 and everything...just go to the swap shop section.

2.

Come and see me showcase to the whole wide world. There's two specific showcases coming up - both of them rather different. Firstly I'm doing a rare solo show at The Cobden Club for The Hit Sheet/BMI Chaps...just so you can hear the songs, bare bones like. Then I'm absolutely thrilled that I can tell the world that I've been selected for The Great Escape Festival right here on my doorstep in the almost sunny Brighton. That....even more rarely (it's never happened before) will be with FULL BAND...oh yes....I cannot wait I tell thee...

3.

Now, should I buy a pedometer?
I am trekking the length and breadth of the country with Dorie Jackson to support the very dear Chris Difford on a 6 week tour. I'm going the furthest North I've ever been and imagine I will get to know the inside of pretty much every Travelodge the far side of Watford. I wonder how many miles we will travel?...hmmm

Anyway - Thats about it....

other than...

For those of you who don't know. I mentioned in previous blogs about an Arts Foundation Award...but seeing as nobody reads these bastard things here's the link:

http://www.artsfoundation.co.uk/current_awards.html

and they said this:

The winners of the five fellowships were announced at the Arts Foundation Awards on Wednesday night. Annie Lennox presented the £10,000 awards to the five recipients in the following categories; Storytelling, Songwriting, Theatre Directing, Interior Architecture and Portraiture. Go to Awards 2009 to see who won...

So i got drunk and cuddled Annie Lennox, the poor dear thing. So I've won £10,000 which is AMAZING! most importantly it means that my record will be made and I can eat for the next few months...thanks to the Arts Foundation for existing! I still think it's a lie...such a very very mad world.

hope to see/ speak to you all soon...
