Well, it's not me that's been given birth to today, but it sure feels like it.

Culmination of a ten year dream, etc. etc. My album is coming out today. Yeah, I've had album launch parties for other people's albums that I played on, but this is different. This is my baby. I made this. And now it's real. It didn't feel real until I went out and saw it in a shop this morning.

Say congratulations or something...

Have just come back from the launch, it was great. Canada House looks like a cross between Nash room at ICA and a pub, very weird.

Kate looked and sounded fabulous and I think I left her in the middle of a successful pull.
