So one track down, another 10 – 12 to go, feels like a massive task.

Made Baz from Electrobelle posh fish & chips last Friday, he admitted he would marry me but there would be no sex, I was fine with that!

Heard his new track and his next two ideas. All sounding good. I did have to point out that Charlie uses the word ‘darling’ in all three Electrobelle tracks. We had to listen to the tracks so I could be proven right – Baz you owe me £50 + the £50 for the Yazoo ticket, now that was an expensive night out.
