THE THANK YOU LIST
(I couldn't fit it on the album sleeve, so here it is)
First of all I must thank the one and only Papa Chiz, without whom none of this would have happened – for giving me my first solo gig in Bristol, and then for years of help, support, bookings, got giddiness and good times. What a hero.
Also much love to Esther and Dot.
Love to all the members of the RLF orkestra over the years: Lev, Jay Le Surge, Alex, Matt, Raf, Ruth, Fraser, Paula, and everyone else who participated in whatever shape or form.
To everyone at the one and only Cube microplex, second home and stomping ground and general hub of wonder, especially Hogge, Dave Hopkinson, Adam "gaffa" faraday, Rosie, Lady Lucy, Zulaiker, Kari, Mariander, Julian, Ben, Miranda, Rod, Morgan, Jem, Timmy, oh all of you too many to mention.
Much love to Mark and Barbara and all who sailed on the mighty ship Imperial music (R.I.P.) Anna the wigster, Darren (& Nicola!), Los Angeles Pam, Sarah, Pieman, Gaz, Mel, Little Rich, Jake and Chris, Tom & Orinthia...
Not forgetting all of you who shopped there!
Big thanks must also go to the mighty Guttabreakz for his kind words that helped me reach more people.
