'Money's Too Tight To Mention' sang The Valentine Brothers, later pilfered by Simply Red. But unlike the Simply's Mick we've all had to tighten our belts a bit this past year. So we'll come right out and say a big thanks for buying this record. You have impeccable taste, you really do. And its also thanks to you that What's Cookin' has been able to thrive (with the odd hiccup) over the past 5 years, bringing you the acts on this long player and dozens more of th same calibre.

There's no doubt about it, live music has had it tough of late, though in hard times we hope nights like What's Cookin' and others provide a bit of blessed relief from our daily troubles. So keep on coming, and if you've never been, we'd be glad to have yer. And if for some reason you can't get here, well, there are loads of other places who'd love to have yer!

So in the words of some other Reds - The Redskins - 'Keep On Keepin' On!'

To get your hands on a copy zap yerself over to Zingg Records or Cargo Recordswhere you can buy it by cheque/credit card/Paypal or download it from itunes

Or even better treat yourself and come along and pick it up at any What's Cookin' night.
