The album and this website have been done at weekends in between other stuff. It's been fun and there are some people I want to thank for helping me and being kind over the past year.......

Mum, my FC01, who has always supported me no matter what and is an inspiration in courage, positive thinking and determination.

Richard Elliott for getting me to sing Angel in Australia, buying me my first guitar, always encouraging me, trying to help me and generally being brilliant. Margaret Elliott and the rest of their family for feeding me and being positive. Edmund and Eleanor - for making me laugh a lot and testing my Star Wars knowledge.

My bosses:

Ashley Morgan for being absolutely brilliant in giving me lots of options and support during a tough time and making it hard for me to make up my mind.... :-)

Dave Edwell for enabling me to be where I needed to be and giving unspoken ongoing support much valued. Not bad for an anti tree hugger :-)

My sensei, Mike Narey, for his offers of help much appreciated and for ensuring I had the space to focus on my priorities.

My fellow deshis for uncomplainingly taking on my chores when I couldn’t be there, and of course AJ for helping me get my performing courage up and putting up with me practicing next door..

To my fantastico amigos, the beautiful, smart and talented ladies at Orange, you know who you are and you are fabulous - here‘s to happy jewellery making evenings followed by perhaps a few drinks and a spot of robotic dancing.......?

All the staff at Glenfield hospital who cared so brilliantly for my mum and especially to the very patient Mick Goldsmith and his kind friend Trevor Harris, without whos help and advice and example, things would be very different.

Fraser for his gourmet cooking, for practicing guitar with me and encouraging me.

The lovely Debs for keeping mums freezer stocked and me sane. Hina for her positivity and pragmatism. Jude for her loyalty and offers of sanctuary. Jo for still being my pal even though am rubbish at keeping in touch. Paul and Lynds - for your support, fun, and life coaching ;-)

The girls, especially Nita and Nicola (£60million pounds an hour) for always managing to make me laugh.

All the guys at Just Music in Loughborough, every town should have a shop like it, friendly people who know what they are doing and for whom nothing is too much trouble.

Betty, Veronica, Margaret and Pete for their unswerving loyalty and friendship.

Adrian Jones at Vibrologix for being so cheerful in helping me when I was sitting scratching my head. The support people at Paypal and Streamlinenet who have answered my daft questions and helped me along the way.

And last but not least to my family for being who they are :-)

Am lucky to have come across you all.
