Happy new year all! Hope everyone had a splendid night to bring in 2012. We had an enjoyable knees-up. We also contributed to BBC 6 Music's excellent Now Playing show (6 mins in) again, perhaps thankfully having our words read out by presenter Tom Robinson as we eulogised about the forthcoming debut album from Clock Opera.
