16/04/07  Hello all, I'm very knackered writing this, having just got back from touring Poland, where I was mixing sound for ledgendary Welsh rock band Budgie. Had agreat time out there, Budgie were amazing and the Polish fans were awesome. We were driven by  Piotr Grudzinski and Piotr Kozieradzki from Polish band Riverside who introduced us to the delights of wisniowka (cherry vodka), they're gonna be touring with Dream Theater later this year, so good luck with that guys. While over there I met up with Artur Chachlowski dj for MLWZ and Metal Hammer journalist, I last met Artur 12 years ago, myself and Rob Reed (Magenta) had a couple of beers with Artur in a Port Talbot pub. This time the venue was Krakow and with Polish beer and more Cherry vodka.....

So back in Wales and back to rehearsals for the show with Magenta at the CRS in Rotherham on April 28th, our other guitarist Chris is away for this gig, having already booked a holiday in the sun...... so hopefully we'll see you all in sunny South Yorkshire...with cherry vodka...aaaaahhhhhh........
