Dear Bill,

Sorry it’s been so long since I last wrote to you. As you may know I’ve been recording a new album in Texas. It’s now in the mixing stages and due for release in the US around August. I’ve also been in New Orleans and LA with photographer and friend Nigel Crane AKA the ‘Attorney’ (more the kind of attorney Hunter S Thompson would employ than someone you might call if you fell off a step ladder at work or got your hair stuck in a lathe). The purpose of this trip was to take some promotion shots for the new and as yet untitled album. Apart from breaking into a derelict amusement park and meeting a nice man with one leg and a large automatic rifle (another story), we had the privilege of a slightly more legal shoot on the Sony pictures lot in LA. On arrival I noticed the Ghostbusters wagon and the car from the Green Hornet parked at the gates and couldn’t resist the opportunity for a quick pic. I think I still have a home made proton pack made from Hoover parts and an ice cream tub covered in tin foil if you felt like re-enacting a few of my fave scenes from the movie over a couple of beers sometime???. Please find enclosed aforementioned picture of me trying to look cool in front of your old station wagon.

Call me,

Martin XX
