HEY HEY 16K TENTH ANNIVERSARY Mr Rob Manuel's amazing video for "Hey Hey 16K" was released 10 years ago this weekend, on 4 May 2004, and was the kick-off for all MANNER of larks and craziness. To celebrate this auspicious anniversary I'm reissuing the original single as a revised and updated Pay What You Want EP, available for the next seven days, which you can find at these locations: heyhey16k.com 1 mjhibbett.bandcamp.com/album/hey-hey-16k-10th-anniversary 3

As ever, any plugs, mentions, tweets or indeed PURCHASES would be most appreciated!

INDIETRACKS In July The Validators are returning to Indietracks and we're VERY excited about it! We've got a GRATE list of songs to choose from, including some old favourites that we've never played live as a band before and also some NEW stuff. If anyone wants to book us for a warm-up do get in touch, and if you fancy coming you've got until Sunday 11 May to get cheap early bird tickets, HERE: indietracks.co.uk/tickets/ 4

AND FINALLY As if that wasn't enough of a glorious return, I'm happy to announce that Totally Acoustic will be returning in August for a new series of shows and podcasts. I'm currently sorting out who'll be playing when, tune in next time for further news! totallyacoustic.com 5

And I think that's more than enough for one newsletter - thanks for listening!
