Thanks for the feedback - there was a post on FB which I replied to, the guy said they had filled their spots ... I subsequently forgot about it, and he got in touch a month later and we arranged it, there was only a few days between when he messaged me and the actual gig.

But I do hope when I slip off this mortal coil that someone will listen to my life's work and say...oh well!
Yes, I understand what you mean - I printed the minimum number of copies I could, as I know selling CD's is hard in this day and age, with the thought that I could potentially make profit from it, but was happy to concede a "break even" point. I was planning this over a year period, and so far I'm about 30% of the way to the the BE - but it's always mapped looking like a decaying scale, so the peak is at the beginning (new CD, etc) and the trail is the hard sell ....

Thanks - there were actually two guys there; the one I spoke to on the radio and another guy who was silently twiddling the knobs. He only brielfly spoke to me saying that one mic was for guitar and one was for voice. The interview was not pre-planned, so was flying by the seat of my pants. But that's sometimes how these things go. My youngest son also came into the studio and took the photos.
Cheers
Richard
