Hello again peoples, just back from a couple of weeks in Spain - great to see my brother again, although I could have used a few more victories on the ping pong table...
First things first - I make no apologies for the random photo, but I should apologise to the woman in the background, who probably doesn't appreciate having a rear view of herself in a swimsuit posted on the world wide web. Having said that, the monthly mailout of a little-known Australian singer-songwriter based in London isn't about to catapault her into "latest internet sensation" status, nor is the average web user likely to go in search of old Spanish women in swimsuits... On that basis I decided to hit you with the "Bicyboatslide!"
Is that it's actual name? I think not, but I think you would agree with me - the Spanish have got it nailed with this one. It's a bicycle and a boat AND a slippery slide rolled into one. I briefly contemplated cycling myself back to Sydney, but I got tired and went down the slide instead. Hours of entertainment folks, hours of entertainment. Notwithstanding the fact that there are also WHEELS! So if you were inclined to push the bicyboatslide to the top of a hill, you could have all sorts of fun on the way down. Even moreso because you'd have absolutely no way of steering or stopping the thing OR (assuming you don't speak Spanish) explaining to the local authorities why you pushed a boat with a slippery slide up a hill in the first place... (Actually even if you did speak Spanish you might have a bit of trouble with that one...).
Random observations aside, the beaches of September have been replaced by the gigs of October... And if I'm being fair to the reader here I should really tell you about the gigs (see below), seeing as you've signed up to a music mailout and everything. I realise the old RF emails don't always follow the script on that front, but I think I gave up following the script a while back... And that's sort of the point...
(Having said that, here's a little bit of music for you before I go - a live recording of "Crossfire" a few weeks back in London):

Thanks for hanging in there! Catch you soon.
Cheers,

Cross-promotion stuff....
A couple of little things to tell you about here... Cool people doing cool things:
First of all, the talented Belinda Cairelli (the artist behind "The Arena" artwork and my brother's now fiance) has set up a brand new blog with fashion designs, works in progress and all sorts of cool stuff. Well worth a look if you've got a spare few minutes:

Secondly, my very good friend Sam Buckingham is trying to raise money to record her next album. You can pay for it in advance, and purchase a whole bunch of other cool things - I think it's gonna sound amazing. Check it out:
