We have finally uploaded our album to Youtube for streaming. We've had some amazing feedback so far and are really proud of what we achieved and really do want to share it with everybody. Incidentally, we also have a limited number of CD's available if anybody would like one. We have priced them at just £7.00 each (£5 to go to Combat Stress, the remainder to fund the next batch of CD's).

Could Elvis Presley really play guitar? Hey folks, so after watching the new EPiC movie yesterday in the cinema (very awesome, by the way) I thought I would raise the subject for an article in our next issue. Past Hollywood movies have portrayed Elvis as a very weak guitarist but two movies in particular, EPiC being one of them, has told a very different story. I'd be interested to see how the public saw him and any personal insights etc you may have.

After over two months of slaving in a studio, Jane and I have finally got our album together. The album is called 'Stories' and we have recorded it under the name of 'Penjalau' (just an anagram of 'Paul' and 'Jane'). It is a kind of acoustic folk thing that we created in our own studio with the help of full Full Circle Studios and a few other great people. Big thanks to Lee Etherington for his amazing bass playing and brilliant musical mind. We have one or two mastering bits to do before we send it off to CD printing and raise a few quid for Combat Stress but here is the online version for you to have a listen to.

So after Paul's rant and a sulk in his studio yesterday after feeling totally useless, he decided to start fresh today. Although it still needs a professional touch, he managed to get this recorded...

So here's a stab at one of my own songs that I wrote a couple of years ago. A little thing about the tests of life.

I seriously need some help recording, mastering and production. Tried contacting our local recording studio but to no avail. I need a good reliable studio I think!

So, after pushing Paul to do something with his songs, he recorded his latest song 'The Birdman'. Look out for his new album coming out soon 'Stories'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdlZD-foYMU

A little song I wrote not so long ago inspired by an old gent who lives close by.
