The good news is that Chris Youlden is much better. He’s had all the tubes out and is now out of intensive care, back on a general ward. He can talk again and is on solid food. Thank’s for your good wishes.

The new Shakey Vick album will be available on Widespace Records, (also available via Vicksboro Records). It features three songs by Chris Youlden, including an alternative take, making four Youlden tracks as well as six other tracks by Shakey Vick and bassist Jim Mercer, with guests including Alan Glen etc.

The other news is that Chris is making recovery again, albeit slowly.
