Thank you... that's all i really want to say. Charting at number 14 after a three year break and the absence of radio air-play etc. is down to one thing... the support that you guys gave. Myself, 19 and Universal are all very pleased at the result and has set us in great stead for our next release, which, as you probably know by now, is 'Angel on My Shoulder'. We've got some really exciting things ahead so watch out for upcoming events on the website. Lots of Love and again, thank you.
