You've heard the music, read the story... now you have a chance to buy a piece of the action. Oh yes.

"I've signed up for a very exciting new website called Sellaband. It's an amazing idea whereby listeners and fans can invest in artists they believe in and help those artists to raise enough money to make first-rate recordings in high end studios. The finances and A&R etc are all administered by Sellaband, and as the money gets raised, the artists offer free downloads. Once the target is reached and the album made, "Believers" get free copies, advertising revenue and other benefits in return for their investment.

All the people involved in the management and production side of the enterprise are at the top of their field in the industry, and this really does look like an opportunity for artists to benefit from the kind of services that are normally only provided by a record company, while maintaining a level of control of their own material that record companies are not usually prepared to give.

If you like my songs and have the price of a couple of drinks to spare, it would be great if you would consider becoming one of my "Believers". Click here to see my page there and find out more.

I've uploaded a brand new track to the site too, called The Truth Will Set You Free. It's exclusive to my Sellaband site and free to download. I wrote it after turning on the TV three times in two days to hear that phrase uttered first by Julia Roberts, then by an American-Chinese actor playing a policeman, then by someone in Neighbours, and thought the coincidence significant enough to commemorate in song. The kick-drum sound was made by banging my microphone against my plastic dustbin, so no legs were broken during the making of the recording.

Hope you enjoy."

Total invested so far - $800, so just another $49,200 to go.
