Hello Everyone,

You may have heard all the hullabaloo over the recent Ivors nomination for Last Of The Melting Snow. It's been a strange few weeks involving lots of interviews & the like, things that I never in a million years imagined I'd be doing.... best tabloid headline "IVOR NOT GOT A CLUE WHO HE IS EITHER"

So tomorrow is the big day. You know, it doesn't really matter if we win, the exposure for the song & album has been invaluable to a band with a self-released Willkommen production. Buuuuut, it's always nice to win isn't it?  I had a bad omen at the weekend, when trying on my new 'award ceremony suit' Elbow's epic stirring (rival nominee) song came on the shop's stereo.... Folks, I'm predicting another clean sweep for the lovely Mr Garvey & Co.

The best news to report is I have quit the day job. My last day is the day after the Ivors, for that I predict a pale complexion, wobbly legs & a sore head. After that it's all about getting stuck into the next Leisure Society album, which makes me very happy.

Fingers & toes crossed please.

Love,

Nick.x

ps - sorry if I've failed to reply to any mail lately, it's been a manic few weeks.

Hello Nick. It was lovely to meet you at Scala, after your gig. You're a lovely friendly lot.  I saw your TV interview regarding the awards the following week. Last Of The Melting Snow I realise was one of the songs I heard at the bandstand busking event and really liked. I wish you the best of luck for tomorrow and enjoy creating the next album. Best wishes. Taragh

Hi Nick

just fyi Ivor Novello was one of those high-faluting composer dudes famous in the early part of the 20th century. He wrote loads of tunes buthis biggest hits were probably We''ll Gather Lilacs and ..keep the Home Fires Burning'|(ask your gran)...he was a sort of British Rodgers And Hart or posher Billy Bragg  Jarvis Cocker Neil Hannon or Ian Broudie.

Hopethis helps.

Thanks for the CD by the way you're HUGE favourites on ALL FM. |Hopefully we can arrange a late night session soon.I'll send you the dates available

Take care and good luck

Vicky xx

Good luck with the Ivor.  I'm almost hoping you don't win cos if you the chances of seeing the band for the £6.00 I piad last time will be small.  Still, I'm from Derby, you're from Burton. It would be good for a local lad to make good and I can tell everyone I spoke to your mum at the Bodega!

Well  it doesnt matter that you didnt win it because most people I know think Last Of The Melting Snow is just about as good as Wild is the Wind by Bowie and it doesnt get much better than that!!!

Glad to hear you've jettisoned the day job at last - this is only as it should be.
