Let's start things with some truly remarkable music from Ditte Elly. The genius that is Matt Stalker produced the disc, and I was happy assigned mixing duties. It's a very true record, and remarkable considering she has only been writing for a year and a half. Check it out!
Moving on from that, I've been playing bass a little more for Maiden England, the UK's greatest Iron Maiden tribute! It's a total blast and different to what I would normal be playing, especially on stage. It really makes you think harder in terms of stamina and playing efficiency. They're also all great guys which makes it much easier. We're playing 'Live after Death' in its entirety soon down at Trillians, so get yourself down if you can make it. Played a pretty fun gig at The Office, in South Shields also and that one got filmed:
My original funk/soul/disco band The Juggernaut Love Band have also started to do the occasional local gig, which is very fun. You can like us on facebook here:

And of course, coming in for the finale is Vinyl Jacket, who finally released their new single "Moment". It was recently played twice by Huw Stevens on Radio 1, and you can hear that below. If you want to hear it in it's glorious un-radio-fucked quality, you can get hold of it in a 'Pay By Tweet' promotion, just click those words on the soundcloud widget!
And that'll do for now. There's some other stuff happening too, Meghan Clancy's album is in the final stages of mixing, Matt Stalker is brimming with wonderful music but is holding onto it for now, and the lads from Cloud City Trap are also working on some more music. This will all be posted when there's some tracks up :)
