John's Blog

July, August and September

Despite my recent assurances that the reader would be knee-deep in gossip, tittle tattle and breathtaking news I have to admit yet again that available time for me to scribe has not been plentiful!

 

So apologies! An awful lot HAS been happening - enough to write a book about in fact. I will endeavour to get it all chronicled before too long.

APRIL,MAY & JUNE AT SPRINT

Just in case you think we are having a quiet time, I must explain by saying that the last 3 months have been unbelievably busy and active !

Personally I don't seem to have had a minute to spare and for those who were hoping for my monthly blog and update on events...I apologise ,but must add that from now until the end of the Year there will be lots to read about. 

We hope to have three new releases before the end of the Year. The Mirettes, as well as enjoying some great reviews at prestigious venues have been adding to their recording portfolio and they are sounding extremely hot. 1st single release date to be announced soon.

My Dazy Chain have been in Australia, where their fan base grows by the day. They are now back in the UK and putting the finishing touches to their debut record.

Our premises will be adding a beautiful new rehearsal studio to its facilities and we hope to open that by Mid-September. 

Whytewater are back in the recording studio in September and Daniel Ryan and myself are continuing to work towards final mixes.

Sara Delphi's career is going from strength to strength and her regular radio slots are becoming cult listening! Don't forget that you can go to www.saradelphi.com to read more about her.

March at Sprint

The month of March should really have been dominated by Joshua Jones and his 2nd single 'Never Gonna Be Lonely'. As it happened, despite a great reaction from the radio stations and multiple opportunities to promote the record on television and radio, Joshua was regrettably unavailable to do anything personally to help the track get noticed or in the Charts. However the album 'Seize the Day' continues to tick over, clocking up regular sales around the country.

Instead, The Sprint Music Label saw much activity with both 'The Mirettes' and 'My Dazy Chain' in both the recording and video studios at Barton St David.

'The Mirettes' played at the 'Emerging Talent' night in Pilton, a forerunner to the Glastonbury festival itself, and wowed the audience with an energetic and melodic set that gained them many more fans. Michael Eavis himself came backstage to personally thank the individuals of the band for their performance.

'My Dazy Chain' continued their recording project with another two new songs, and their You Tube Blogs had over 15,000 views in the 4 weeks of March alone. www.youtube.com/mydazychain

Sara Delphi is preparing for a busy month ahead with major radio and television appearances, commencing with a 'live' interview for Janice Long on BBC WM on April 5th. www.saradelphi.com

Daniel Ryan has written some great new songs and will be working with me in the studio before the end of April.

February at Sprint

The month has been as hectic as ever with much activity in the studio and further progress made with the roster.

'My Dazy Chain' travelled down from their home on the outskirts of London and spent a few days adding vocals to some new songs I have written especially for them. They also started filming their own blogs which can be seen in the Media/Video and on their YouTube site.

Joshua's new video for his 2nd single has made it to the top of the E-Music television chart as did his first, Kilimanjaro which made a re-appearance in the Top 10 for a short while!

We had a visit from the managers of a new and exciting singer-songwriter Daniel Ryan and I have decided to record some tracks with him within the next month with a view to a Sprint release later this year.

Sara Delphi's You Tube videos are becoming very popular and she is to film monthly horoscopes in our video studio starting in March.

The Mirettes, a local band, have started recording two of their original songs and we have decided to make the outfit a new Sprint signing. Watch this space - their first single is a winner!!!!!

My talks are continuing globally to ensure that our products will be available around the world.

More news as I have it!!

Midem,Cannes Wed 30th Jan'08

I'm writing this in Cannes, France where, although it might sound glamorous, it's business,business, business!! Honest!! It's been a very positive time and I've had the pleasure of meeting the Heads of several major record companies and the former keyboard player of Bill Haley and the Comets to name but a few ! Back in the office late Friday 1st Feb, although I hear the weather could be bad in the UK.
