Hello FB friends – a happy and hopeful New Year to you all.

Just a little reminder and update.

We are really excited about the new album – see the cover below. There will be a limited edition 12 track vinyl album and a 14 track cd. Release date to be confirmed.

In the meantime – there is still time for you to be part of the vinyl album – we would love any pics of :

You and Don
You and any of us
No pics of Noddy, Jim or Dave though

Send them to Martin ( Chatterton ) on this email ( note NOT gmail ) and he will incorporate your pic as part of the design. Email them to starandgarter@mail.com

Martin is now our “fourth member” – in charge of design and artistic direction. He’s done all our artwork and logos so far and it seemed sensible to have him on board as part of the collective. Plus he’s brilliant! And a great chap as well.

We will bring you more details of release dates, merchandise, track listings etc in the next month or so when we can get some pre orders up on the website. But we are so excited about this year musically / artistically. There’ll be lots happening so keep in touch and spread the word!

Love,
Paul, Don, Les and Martin xxxx
