Thanks all

...For your generous comments both on this blog and privately re. the summer comp. Glad it hit the spot, and full respect to The Singleman Affair who have garnered many intrigued customers, and who's forthcoming album promises great things, if you're a fan of that fuzzy acoustic Tim Hardin soaked sound.

I'm out for a few weeks : a rough, torrid summer that has seen my father go into intensive care, and thankfully re-emerge has meant less posts for you lucky people. Meantime, you might want to head to Moistworks, who have posted consistently interesting tracks for many a year now, not least Miriam Makeba's heavyweight Quit It.

See you in a fortnight. Meantime this is what the last of my summer will sound like.
