One of two of my electronic penfriends at Mudcat have contacted me to ask about the recent silence from me and Salut! Live. Simple answer: a three-country move (UAE-UK-France) and huge pressure of work, the sort that is paid for.

In case anyone is interested, hwoever, Salut! Live is back in operation with a review of the Ruth Notman remake of Fairport's Si Tu Dois Partir and a compilation of live performances at the Hebden Bridge Trades Club.

This is the link

Thanks to the many who have continued to visit Salut! - or send albums for review - during my fallow spell.
