Thank you. Tom, I'm glad you are enjoying the book. I seem to remember Bend Sinister being re- mastered for release. I'm not sure if it was from the original tapes. Hopefully, someone will tell us.

OK you lot…. A word of warning. Jase is going to be turning down clients before long. His student list has flown up - and who could be surprised! He’s a bloody genius! I’ve come on leaps and bounds from technically inept to technically adept in a month. BOOK EARLY! 👍🏻

Here's Episode 120 of The 157 Show!!
Another show brimful of new Indie music, a review of the bands that I've seen live since the last show and of course, my favourite feature The Hanley Hoedown as well!!!
ENJOY RESPONSIBLY!!
