Sitting here at EP I got overly excited and decided that it's time to let the cat out of the bag (well half way out) Biggest news yet!!! As a project I have tried to grow an keep the opportunities for artists young and old to reach the public moving forward, and this will be the most exciting yet.

More to follow tomorrow when I wake up...
