Happy New Year from SLF!

2007 was an amazing year in so much as SLF celebrated it's 30th Anniversary. I seem to have spent most of that year talking to some journalist or another who ALL asked the same questions. Mainly: 'When you started in 1977, did you expect to be doing this in 30 years time ?' Of course, the answer is No! But, it has to be said that for the most part it's been a great 30 years. I've certainly racked up a load of great memories, met and worked with some incredible people and generally been lucky enough to do what I always wanted to for a living. All of which is, of course, thanks to you. So, THANKS !

Obviously, we also spent a fair amount of time on the road. We toured the U.K. twice and the U.S. We played "Inflammable Material" live for the first time since its release. We took part in Riot Fest in Chicago which was fantastic, if a little short ! We returned to the Ulster Hall in Belfast (which was my personal highlight of the year).

And now on to 2008! This not only includes the usual March U.K. Tour, which we always look forward to, but our first ever trip to the Antipodes. (That's Australia to those of you running for an atlas.) This has been talked about for such a long time and feels incredibly overdue. Before that, we also plan to fit in a few shows on the west coast of America as we didn't get a chance to get out there last year.

Also, we're determined to get cracking on the next studio album. This is another thing that seems incredibly overdue. It's taking so long because although I had some songs written, I changed my mind about the whole direction of the thing at that point and pretty much scrapped everything I had. So, back to the drawing board but, this time with a clear and focused idea of what we should be doing.

So, that's where we are at the moment. Happy 2008 ! It's going to be great !

Cheers, Jake.
