don't get me wrong, I"ve nothing against 8bit music, but I believe  
they could've done better with an original tune.

a shame, room for improvement then.

agreed, as I say, a good performance.

hehe
I know where you're coming from and I don't believe that the attitude  
you mention works.
Every gig we've done as a band we've found you have to give a lot more  
to the audience, just playing your music isn't enough, you really have  
to *be* the music.

> Btw - we all want more videos from your band..!!!!

we did a gig a couple of weeks back in Hereford where they videod it,  
and I'm pestering them for a copy, but they claim they're busy until  
Jan :-(
As soon as we have them, we'll be uploading them, our performance has  
improved quite a bit since the ones currently on you tube (which was  
our very first gig), as have the songs.

Paul
