Hello to all you Bruised Fruit followers out there... this is the August edition of the BF News.  Enjoi!! :D

I think I should start by saying that I'm new to all this because I've just joined Bruised Fruit and have been set the huge task of informing you all about the latest goings on.

Well firstly I (Daniel) am not the only new member to have become part of the BF team we also have Matt and Chloe.


Also a big THANKS to everyone that came to our Office-Warming Party earlier this month.  We're sharing a space with a load of other creative people, go

It was a great turn out and a lot of fun. Oh and by the way how big were those cupcakes!?!

We've settled in nicely to our new surroundings and have finally spruced the place up with posters and a load of other stuff.  It looks awesome! We have a library area with tons of music reference books, and free internet access for peeps so if you need space for a day or two to get some research you can come hang out any time.
