  1. Hi guys, this is FAB!

    Is there anyway to download it? I'd love to take it on a train journey I'm going on tomorrow so I have the time to give it a really good listen.

    1. Thanks George! It'll work on a smartphone and it's hosted by SoundCloud under my name. I'm working on Itunes etc
      If anyone out would like to get involved with technical expertise I'd love to hear from you!

    2. Should be able to play it on my phone then.

      Had a look at your Soundcloud account but it said you don't have any public sounds so I guess you have to make it public if you want to. I'd offer to help but am out of my IT depth here m afraid xxx

We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
