There is so much detail from Friday night that it would take a book to get it all out. But here is a rough idea of what went on...It was a *great* show. We took the stage at around 11pm on Friday night. That's well past my bed time. With a stomach full of crisps, fizzy drinks and butterflies I was feeling more liking sitting still than rocking. But as soon as 3am (who kindly loaned their PA) left the stage we were all chomping at the bit to get on and give the crowd a good time. Good time is what we gave. It really was an exciting event, I'm sure everyone of the hundred and fifty or so people that was there would agree. Here are the first few photos that have come dripping through to us. If you have any photos of the night please forward them to us and we will post them up here. Thanks to all of you who came - hope you loved it as much as we did.
Sam.

Yes folks, the wonderful team at Stone Island Records have now listed our debut album 'LoveTel Motel' on their excellent website under the category heading of Classic Rock. You can now order your very own copy of this long awaited and much discussed LP recording by Magic Ship from Stone Island Records here . We hope that you enjoy listening to this album as much as we enjoyed making it. And don't forget that we mixed it so that you will be able to get the most out of it through either earphones or speakers, just so long as you remember to play it loud! Dancing is unavoidable. Grab a copy before it's too late.

Blimey, these last few days have all been go on the Magic Ship. Website up, album received. Now Col tells us we've had a load of branded T-shirts delivered. Last night was the final practice before Friday's gig at Ye White Hart. It took us a run through to warm up and a second time round the songs to play them well. It'll be something else to play in a big room. In fact something else to play outside the four walls of the rehearsal room.

I like to keep things simple, but at the moment there are so many things happening it is far from simple. Now I see why bands have tour managers and promo teams and web designers and marketing departments and hair stylists and m&m filterers! It means they can go on stage and play and wake up the next day in the next town and play again and keep doing that until they are told to go and speak to the people at Horse and Hound magazine. Then go on Top of the Pops. Then go on stage again. Like being at school or in the army I suppose, but with more fans.

Top ranking! ROMO (Rockmother to those who just met her) has made a special - and I don't use those bold things lightly - special podcast for the LoveTel Motel album launch. Rockmother is a seasoned expert in all things and especially music. This is podcast 18 in a series so she obviously knows what she's talking about.
