Modest

I do some work free for my friends in various bands, and I was chuffed to pieces that, when I offered to write the blurb for the back of Bluehorses' new DVD (released the other day), they said yes.  I'm even more chuffed now that I can see my words on the back of the finished package.  A modest achievement, but it's a big thing for me.

Go to www.bluehorses.co.uk and click on Merchandise for details - it's a double DVD at a bargain price :o)

Debs

Well done Taffeta! I am really pleased for you! You never know where this might lead you. Do you do song-writing?

Sylvia

Good for you, TP. That's something positive to go on your CV. Whose album will you words appear on next, I wonder? James Blunt or Coldplay, perhaps?

Jacey

That's not so modest TP, think how many people will read it - WELL DONE!

Carol

You may get other work from it, which can only be good. Well done.

Fion

Woohoo TaffetaPunk! How brilliant for you!

moira

Oh well done, TP. Keep up the good work, it is so rewarding to see your work in print, it is a big step, congratulations. May there be many more to follow!

sal

Thats brill TP and here's to many more.

Oh, TP, I meant to say that although you think of this as a 'modest achievement', remember that Stephen King started out writing short stories for Playboy magazine!

Kathy Morgan

Super news, TP, well done!

Thanks, everyone (and Fion, now I know who you are, there'll be no escape, hehehe!).

Debs, I did some songwriting years ago, but it wasn't much good.  I prefer prose, either fiction or non-fiction, as words come more easily to me that way.  However, I can recognise the poetry in a good song, and that's part of what makes me so passionate about music.

As for Bluehorses, I managed to secure them a place at this year's Montreux Jazz Festival in July, so if anyone will be there, pop along and check them out - they are truly spectacular!

Wow! Congratulations TaffetaPunk!
