I havent posted for a while, for which i apologise, but that does not mean I haven't been busy and my project is not progressing nicely.. Ok I have been enjoying the sun and not working, cooking meat on a grill and looking after my pregnant wife and getting excited for our new family arrival in the next couple of weeks.. So, below are a few updates:
#1. First of all I would like to officially introduce you to a new version of my song by an American artist called "Bill Hudgins" for those of you with a good musical ear and love the likes of "Built to spill" well then you will love this.. I would like to thank Bill for taking the time and getting involved with the project.. have a listen, buy for a bargain £1 and donate to Multiple Sclerosis..
#2. I have received a donation for the project from a universally loved band who would have liked to of been involved but due to being in the process of recording their next album have found time too limited, the band and donation is anonymous but all I can say is that i am amazed and humble with the support I have received in this project... And from hearing such words of support (and financial support) from a band that every one of you most likely have at least one of their albums is so awesome, and although I doubt very much they will read this, I thank you endlessly...
#3. As each day waves us goodbye I am closer to receiving versions from ASH/We are scientists (currently being worked on in New York), Emmy the great (the song is being mixed currently by Tim Wheeler) and Marissa Nadler.. Both Emmy the great and Marissa Nadler have new albums out soon which I highly recommend you look into owning. News on Emmy's album can be found HERE, and Marissa's HERE
#4. Over the weekend I heard a sneak preview of a live version of the song from a new London-based band called "you, coma". they are currently working on their debut EP. but will be taking time out to record in the studio their version over the next few weeks.. They have allowed me to Embed an early pre-production demo of one of their songs.. Sit back and listen, this may be the only chance you get to here the lyrics "boot licking Romans" in a song!!
Finally i am going to link again Ed Harcourt's version, because if you haven't heard yet you must, its beautiful and well worth a £1 donation.
Oh and finally finally, Ive added a "Just Giving" link down the the right hand side of this page if you prefere to donate that way, if you use the "Just Giving" method you don't automatically get a song for your troubles, but if you would like one after donating let me know by email with proof of donation and I will sent you a link to the song of your choice.. >>>>
Until next time, thank you
Robert
