All good Nicky..

The only slight 'hitch' was that The Con Club in Ferndale is unavailable now so we couldn't do the Rhondda...but it meant I could move the Merthyr gig from the Monday and I can go to Leeds now and cheggers can come too!! ha.

But they should be a laugh, you know?

the record company has made noises about recording an album gigs maybe Xmas or in the New Year and me, Owen and Guto have spoken about it so we'll see.

If we did we'd like them to be like old 'Faces' gigs where we'd kick footballs in the audience and the fans could proper bounce about. We'd try and do a high energy set.
I'd like them to be like the old terraces were, you know? Packed, sweaty and heaving! Like the old days.. ;)

But we'll have a look at it after the single has come out and see.
I'm having to do two films pre and post Christmas so the only trouble is time...but, you know, you can always find time cant you? And I had a great time recording the song and the lads in the band are brilliant lads so we'll see.

I've got this next few weeks cleared of any filming work so I can come on here a bit more too...it's a great board and like I just said to the wife...addictive too....!! :ayatollah:

How come HMV have got 2 versions of the 7" single ? One for £2.99, the other £3.99.

Anyone know what the difference is, can't see anything different in the description ?

Think I can answer my own question now, the dearer one is a picture disc apparently. They have slightly different catalogue numbers.

AJX248S - Normal 7" single - £2.99
AJX248P - 7" picture disc - £3.99

Kel...my job will be promoting the single and talking all things Cardiff City...tough job I know but someone's got to do it butty.. ;)

And yes...the other one is the Picture Disc....they are going quickly as there are only a few hundred made as they are expensive to do BUT they'll become a collectors item...so if you're a bit naughty you can think of it as an investement and get 'em up on ebay later...haha! But you don't hear that from me... :D

For all City fans out there if you get a chance to see Elisa don't miss her because she has got a fantastic voice and catch her now because she is going to be big.

Johnny

Firstly congratulations on achieve top spot.

You mentioned that you might want to look to expand the publicity more widely to the National Press this week and I believe that I maybe able to assist with this - if indeed you want my help.

Outside of my normal day job (See my Signature with Mobile Number) I work as a Sports Photographer.

I work very closely with an agency who provides sports related images to all the National Press, both UK and Overseas.

If you have a number of good images, of Fred Keenor, that you would allow me to upload I can let the agency know the story and let them do the rest.

Cheers

Paul.

Sun Oct 17, 2010 7:48 am

Hey Paul.

That's brilliant mate.

Do you want the single cover image?

The brilliant one of Fred with the Cup?

Any others then let me know.

PM me butty and we'll get something sorted.

Thanks again all.

Ps Nuke Blue...I thought you'd have been onto that like!!... :D

Jonny

Im driving back up to Wigan today and hoping to get back around 2or3 ish

If you want to send the single cover image (by way of a jpeg if poss), plus any other images you have, to:

sportsworldimages@gmail.com

I will get them uploaded to the agency this pm.

If you want to write an article (or email me one that has already been written) I can send this to the agency as well.

If I get them across this afternoon the agency can circulate them to the National Press this evening


Cheers

Paul.

Fantastic Paul.

See like I keep saying....does anyone else have supporters like this?

No snidey comments from anyone, just support. All the way.

Thank you all again from all of us (me, Owen, Guto and Ryan)...it's a bit overwhelming sometimes.
