November 2004

Dear Viewers,

There is a lot to catch up on, and due to technical difficulties with a certain PC, we were unable to update this journal! We are all happy to say, that with all good intentions it has now gone to the land of the PC's (Technical term for the skip).

Anyway, we start this newsletter with the write up on the two concerts in London at St.James Royal Park, on Saturday 24th July 2004.

We recieved excellent feedback from the organisers, and the public who have emailed us, and telephoned us with there views on the concerts. Everyone was pleased with the two concerts, with one at 15:00 and again at 17:00.
