Well its autumn now; the summer has well and truly done a runner... But we are all back in North Wales and all ready to make some noise once again. Congratulations to Neil and Sally on the birth of Little Kurt (I told him condoms don't work - would he listen?).

So we're back on it, new place to practice, and plenty of gigs lined up. So keep in touch everyone and keep an eye out in your local sports and social club for forthcoming events. Ha. Or look in gigs...

Nice one dudes... see you soon...

Well, come the summer Babylon Leaf is all change once again: Hanny is off to Tenerife with Sammy for at least three months, with the possibility of staying for good. Hanny has always been pissed off living in this country, so good on him. The band's procrastination through-out 2004 couldn't have helped either... We all wish him and Sammy the best of luck.

The Leaf are going to continue. We're still jamming and practicing, with the intention of cramming in as many gigs as possible before Hanny goes as well as recording a new CD containing four or five of our new tracks (well, new since the last CD anyway).

More news soon.

So, all the pages for 2004 have been torn from my calendar and thrown into the waste-paper basket of time. So that was 2004, and what have we done?

Babylon Leaf had a bit of a non-year, in terms of gigs, practices, new equipment... well, pretty much everything. We basically started as we went on: after a great party for Xmas 2003, we decided to take a break. That month-long sabattical dragged into January, turned into two months, then three. I started full-time at HMV in Chester in February and began juggling that with work for Leafish, and so time for the band became more scare for me. Neil and Sally brought new life into the world in the summer, meaning his time was probably being spent washing nappies and looking for the lost dummy underneath the sofa.
