Joe O'Neil, the fantastic man who believed so strongly in Ridinghood and had been representing us this year passed away today. We are devastated, Joe really "got" us and made us feel that we could achieve anything. We will miss him so much. In an industry of non-professionals, Joe always understood and appreciated great songmanship, it was refreshing to work with someone who had such a depth of musical knowledge, amazing experience and a great acumen for music business. We were truly blessed that Joe laid down his roots in Wales and the Welsh music industry will be a poorer place without him. There will be a celebration of his life details of which have yet to be announced. We will post any news here as soon as we know something. We would like to send our love and condolences to his family and friends.

You Were Meant For me

After narrowly missing out on getting on the Orange's Unsigned Act TV show we were personally invited to audition for Zane Lowe and Jo Whiley for the show last Saturday.  I have tried to ignore the blazing dig "Unsigned" as though we free artists are lesser in some way and the patronising listen to "my demo" link icon  (us independent artists are making real records now don't you know?!) but I couldn't be fooled by the cheap-trick X-Factor invitation, what am I, a puppet?!  Anyway they were obviously so incensed by us not turning up for said esteemed audition that they forthwith removed our sweet little promo video for our single Ransom UK - apparently it is "inappropriate" and too "offensive" for CHANNEL 4?!  Radio 1?!  What?!  Here it is, are they mad?
