Welcome back TJ!

I'm looking forward to the album, I did listen to the single on youtube, but not too often, as I really want to enjoy listening to the "real" thing (vinyl or cd)!

Wow, that is excellent news!

Produced by Gerry Driver, no relation to Laurie, I guess...

Produced by Gerry Diver not Driver

Yes, in the meantime I had noticed, the 1st post by Gabumon said "Driver", easy to mistype in this case!

It's been a while since I popped in here but I just want to say that 'Handwriting' has been on permanent rotation in my car for getting on for 6 months now and I'm still loving it. That is all.

It is a brilliant, exceptional album and I also listen to it a lot in my car (& also at home)!
