Younger Than Yesterday - The 1960s Project
With over 30 songs in the final stages of production, this has been a massive joint project by Neil Murray and Stupid Music's Bob Kidby. These are all original songs recorded on the best analogue equipment in homage to the greatest sounds from the 1960s. What could be better! A 4-track EP is being planned for release soon. The world premiere gig launching the project took place at the famous Water Rats music venue, near Kings Cross in London.

The GV's
An Anglo-French band all the way from the Gard area in the south of France, they have been recording a number of songs over the past few months and return next month to do further work. They describe their music as "soft rock" - so to all our French readers, vous l'avez lu ici en premier. 'Nuff said.
