Hello all.

I was sitting on a plane, returning to the UK from Tokyo, yesterday where both Erica & I and The Wonder Stuff had been playing shows last week and it occured to be that I have been having the time of my life throughout all of 2009.

I mean, being able to start a paragraph that includes the sentence "sitting on a plane, returning to the UK from Tokyo" pretty much says it all, right?

But 2009 has also seen Erica & I release our second album together, "Catching More Than We Miss", the launch of our 'Shared' project both in gig and CD formats, The Wonder Stuff tour the UK in celebration of "The Eight Legged Groove Machine"'s 21st anniversary and headline The Avalon stage at Glastonbury Festival. Erica & I have also toured extensively all over the UK as well as play shows in Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York & Tokyo - and we still have a two week tour of Europe in the company of our dear friend Wayne Hussey and a 17 date tour of the UK in support to The Proclaimers to come!

A great year indeed.

Now add to that lot that when I woke up this morning (September 13th) David Sinclair of The Sunday Times had seen fit to write a feature on my activities in their Culture section today.



So all that remains for me to say this afternoon is a great big thank you to all of you that have been out to support either The Wonder Stuff or myself & Erica at our shows this year, spent your hard earned cash on our CDs or just sent us your good vibes, we feel truly blessed.

Milo.
