Our Revenge of the Folksingers show is now here. We also have a likely possible release date for our Robert Mackintosh CD, in May 2011. 

Speaking of CDs, there was a flurry of online orders at 10am this morning. How so? Well, Sara Mohr-Pietsch played a track from Late Night Sessions on the Radio 3 breakfast show again (though we got left off the playlist this time). If she keeps this up, we'll be able to draw up a handy chart of which tracks are the most popular, based on the sales after each play. But of course the BBC can't be seen to encourage that sort of thing.

Despite my creeping Appleisation (should that be Appleization?) and the iPad now inhabiting the house, I've just ordered a new Dell PC for my desk here. The PSU on my present one blew up a few months ago after five years of service, and on Sunday morning I got that scary blinking orange light on the power button that means 'something is wrong with the power supply'. It recovered, but I guess it's only a matter of time now before it or the hard drive dies, so it seemed best to start afresh at a time of my choosing rather than at a very stressful point decided at random by a soulless piece of hardware.
