Those of you on Twitter or who subscribe to Craig's site may have noticed that he's been a little bit quiet recently.

Unfortunately he's not a well Blunders at the moment. He's currently in hospital and will be undergoing a few ops over the coming weeks. He had an op this morning but is recovering as I type.

He's asked me to pop a quick update here as he's conscious that Frost* fans are getting in touch with him via his site, and that he's unable to reply at the moment. He's said that he'll respond as soon as he can, but it's just not possible right now.  However, he's said that he'll be out of hospital between ops, so I'm sure he'll be able to properly catch up with all things t'internet when he's not laid up.

I've suggested getting a drum kit built around his hospital bed, but here's hoping he takes it easy and is back to full fighting fitness soon. In the meantime, it would be great if #badgagfriday on Twitter could keep going strong for him to come back to!

Get well soon, Blunders!! x

A very special double headliner Christmas gig will be taking place on Sunday 16 December at the Scala, London with Frost* and It Bites. Yes, John will be on double time that evening!  

Tickets now available from the Merch Desk, and are selling FAST...!

Following on from the highly-acclaimed Tall Ships, It Bites return with their first concept album in a career that spans 25 years.

Inspired by the discovery of an old family photograph, Map of the Past is a highly personal journey that explores love, passion, jealousy, anger, remorse and loss through the eyes of a previous generation against the backdrop of Britain as it enters a new century and one of the most defining periods of its history.

Written by John Mitchell and John Beck over the course of 2011, it was recorded at Outhouse Studios in Reading and features Bob Dalton on drums and Lee Pomeroy on bass.

Track Listing:
Man In The Photograph
Wallflower
Map of the Past
Clocks
Flag
The Big Machine
Cartoon Graveyard
Send No Flowers
Meadow and the Stream
The Last Escape
Exit Song

Map of the Past is released on 26 March 2012.

Steven Wilson, vocalist/guitarist from Porcupine Tree, has released a solo album (as you probably know).

If you click on the following link //http://www.burningshed.com/store/kscope/freedownload/11/ and subscribe to updates (you can always unsubscribe at a later date) you'll get a free download of one of the tracks.  It's a corker - very PT-sounding.  My mate reliably informs me that this is the most "Tree" sounding track on the album.

Enjoy!  

Newbie here, although some of you will doubtless know me from the It Bites forum.  

I've brought along some nice biscuits to dish out so I can get to know all you lovely Frost*ies better!  Chocolate Hob Nob, anyone?
