well, we'll have to wait and see, but there's no point writing something if it isn't going to get produced, is there? |

Hello again and welcome back.
Now, as you may already know, we are in preparation for releasing "I Always Get My Way" - the second song from TESS to be made public. And what a journey we've been on to get it ready for you to hear. What with backing singers, performers getting flu (did you have it? Nasty, wasn't it?) and the recording of over 30 individual parts, it is something a little different from our first song "In My Hand". Taking the lead in this number is the superb John McLarnon. Full of devilment, charm and passion, he not only gave us the voice we were after, but also blew us away with his characterisation of Alec d'Urberville, which is no mean feat. He's a tricky character to pull off. There's the repulsive aggression of the man, but at the same time something vaguely attractive. We long ago came to the conclusion that a 2-hour show of Alec just being a brute was not the way to go. Hence there's the bullying message of "I Always Get My Way" delivered in a style that is somewhat unexpected. Anyway, see what you think. In the meantime, if you fancy taking in a West End show, we would strongly recommend you go and see John McLarnon in "The Commitments". Great show, great performer. And that's that for now. Thank you for reading and following. Oh, and yes, over 30 parts. It's going to sound BIG! Next time on d'Blog... it's love at first sight as we bring you "One Look Of Love".
