On that positive note
just popping in to say have fun if you're going tonight. I'm off to a wedding this weekend so won't be around until Sunday (maybe) so enjoy people - when I get home it will only be one more day to Koko!!
I'm really looking forward to it - I'm actually very interested to see how good they are - not in the context of XF - but real bands - though they do have the benefit of great songs which always helps

I admit I thought that as well

but when I looked at the chat and saw the list of questions that didnt get answered ( and that was apparently just a proportion of those that didnt get through at all) I was was pretty gobsmacked by the number of different people who'd bothered to get into a webchat at noon on a Friday on the Daily Record website.

For artists like 1D yeah - you expect extreme devotion because thats their fanbase type - but this was pretty encouraging imo for an artist like Matt.
They werent all shout outs or proposals either - there were blokes too - and with serious music questions.


and lots of admiration for the album samplers. Tbh Im pleasantly surprised by such interest in him from all over the place (given his promo so far has been pretty lowkey & mainly his radio tour (thus localised). When (I assume) the bigger stuff kicks in it should be interesting.
