Gin, gin, it's good for your heart. Well, it probably isn't, but quite frankly, I don't care. It's working for me right now.
So - to business. The image above is of Ian Wills' new album, or rather Wills and the Willing as they are known.
It's a fantastic record, some great songs and rather splendid production too, courtesy of Captain Sean 'knob-Topol' Genockey. I'm not quite sure when it's due for release, but I think it's soon. Immininet even.
The twenty-two handsome cover stars feature Mr. Wills, his band and premier league footballers Didier Drogba and Michael Essien. I'm not quite sure who they are. They may play for England, they may not. I went to a party at Chinawhite following the launch of Ian's single 'Skin'. Apparently there were numerous famous footballers there, though I hadn't a clue. I was more concerned about the price of the cocktails - thirty quid a pop! Naively, I offered to buy a round of drinks, then nearly collapsed when presented with a three figure bar bill.
The other hunks on the album cover are The Willing. These are people who contributed to the making of this record, either through studio wizzardry or by performing on tracks. I fall into the latter catagory, and consequently am one of the faces on the album cover. So are Messieurs John Hogg and Harry Collier.
