Woo hoo hoo and Hi there –We were pretty chuffed when the song By a Living Thing got a place in the semi finals of the Contemporary Music section of the Tamworth National Song writing Comp in January 2010. Even more chuffed to see that By a Living Thing and The Good Times, two tracks that feature on our new album “A Surefire Cure”, rated well on Amrap’s AirIt Music charts for week 30/8/-5/09/10. As at 12/09/10 By a Living Thing is still doing well (naturally the charts will change from week to week).
