Hi All

It’s Christmas Eve, and everything is winding down, so we thought it was about time we wrote a little Christmas greeting to all our lovely readers! We’ve been going a year now, and have seen our readership grow, so a big thank you to you all for coming online, reading, commenting, interacting on the forum, and generally enjoying the site!

We hope you’ve all enjoyed the wide range of articles we’ve had on offer, from star interviews with the likes of Beverley Knight and Jamie Cullum, to a host of profiles on new talent from across the country! We’ve had the pleasure of  reviewing some gems in the CD world this year too, The Library Suits, The Temper Trap, General Fiasco, The Answer, Boys 2 Men, and Leddra Chapman among them. And we’ve drunk our fill of interesting news stories and event previews too….it’s been hectic, at times stressful and challenging, but it’s certainly been an interesting year.

Rob and myself couldn’t have done it without a few special people to, so a big Happy Christmas to Janie and Rich our superstar contributors, and also James, Mel, The Sage, and our techies for their contributions too.

We’ll all be back in 2010, with a new look, new plans and ideas, oh and not forgetting some great new music too (our review pile is looking pretty interesting!) we hope you’ll all join us in 2010, but in the meantime please do keep reading our Christmas section, especially all the interviews!

I guess there’s only one thing left to say, and that’s HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND ALL THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR

Love Lauren, Rob, and all the music.co.uk family!
