DINOSAUR PLANET
Earlier this month we put out a press release about the DELIGHTFUL FACT that loads of KIDS seem to be getting into the "Dinosaur Planet" album. It didn't get picked up by many places, but I really LIKED it, so here it is for your enjoyment:

The album is still VERY MUCH AVAILABLE to buy ( http://www.dinosaurplanet.co.uk/shop.php), and if you need some persuading you can see more reviews and interviews on our very LIKEable Dinosaur Planet Facebook page, HERE:

TOTALLY ACOUSTIC
Our next show is on Thursday 12th April with Chris T-T and Benjamin Shaw at The King & Queen, and the latest podcast, featuring the ever marvellous Peter Buckley Hill, can be found HERE:

THE FUTURE
Starting in September I'm going to be doing a part-time MA in PLAYWRITING. This is all very exciting, but it does mean I'm going to have to cut RIGHT back on solo gigs for a couple of years. So, if you fancy coming to see me in the live environment, do it SOON!

IN OTHER NEWS
I've recorded a special session comprising acoustical version of 'Dinosaur Planet' songs for Shane Quentin's 'Garden Of Earthly Delights', which is broadcast at 10pm TONIGHT on CRMK radio - you should be able to listen to it live HERE:

I've also recorded an episode of Mr P Baran's excellent "Lost Property Office" show on SOAS radio, which you'll be able to hear as a podcast from Wednesday at the Freaky Trigger website, HERE:

And finally - ages ago me and Frankie Machine did a version of "I Was Dancing In The Lesbian Bar" for a Jonathan Richman album. It never happened, so I thought I'd put it online, HERE:

And I think that's MORE than enough excitement for one month - thanks for listening, and see you next time!

Cheers,

Mark
