"ANDY: I would like to say a big hello to all our fans on our web site, and I'd like to introduce our new producer, Mr. Mark Bell. As you see, he's got a lovely smile, and Martin here, and Dave. Dave wants to say something.
DAVID: I do. We are probably about half way through, maybe a little bit more, recording our new album, as yet untitled of course. It's going really well. Martin's written some great songs. We're all in good shape. We'll be mixing it the last part of the year, and hopefully be finished by Christmas, so get ready because in the Spring of next year, we should have a new album out, followed by a tour of course, so we look forward to seeing you then."
