Cupid - Draw Back Your Bow

They say Valentines Day is the most romantic day of the year. Whether or not that’s just the greeting card companies telling you that is something that could be debated – but even so, it’s the time of year when we bestow gifts and affection on our loved ones in a big international show of human emotion.

This year’s was a little extra special for one member of this band. For a while now we were all wondering when Darren would pop the question to Emma. Would it be on one of the 5000 holidays she seems to go on every year, or maybe he might have waited until her birthday? Well, we got that answer when the deed was done on Saturday night – with the answer being a big fat yes! Suits and hats at the ready people – we have a wedding to go to!

It goes without saying that all of us in the band obviously wish them all the happiness in the world – they are two of the best people you could ever wish to meet. They deserve everything that they have coming to them, which will at some point probably include screaming kids, early nights and financial problems (speaking from experience).

Now this blog entry could go on about all the weird and wonderful people Emma has had hanging off her for years – but I think we’ll leave that for another day. We promised you a stalker story or two – and we will deliver – but this is probably not the occasion for it…….

Darren we'd just like to point out is a fine human being and not in any way showing any signs of stalkerism (which is a word I believe I may just have made up).

In other news – we’re back in the studio this week, hopefully putting down the base of what will be the final track we record for the album. It’s an interesting one in that we’ve only just written it – and by that I don’t mean only just finished it – actually having written it from start to finish in our last rehearsal. They say spontaneity is a great thing in the creative arts. I think we’ll have to see about that on Thursday!

We have also confirmed the date and venue of our launch party – which I would imagine will be the official album launch date. We’ll keep you posted with this info as soon as we have it, as we just have to cross the T’s and dot the……lower case j’s.

Until Thursday people
