A warm seasons greetings and happy New Year to True Believers friends, supporters and observers! We hope that the time of year provides a chance to catch up with friends and family.

For 2012, Jack Howard has been remarkably active – giving us his newShadowlands album in January, followed by his The Story So Far best of andReliving Life to the Full rarities set in October. Not to mention joining The Break and appearing live everywhere you look in Melbourne.

Thanks to Rob, Jack and the band, we were able to crack open the long rumoured but remarkably mysterious archives. With over 200 separate recordings digitised – but not mastered at this stage – we will be enjoying the archives for some time! We also still have a heck of a lot of articles to type out if you can help!

2013 promises a new Mark Seymour album, Seventh Heaven Club, that is mastered and ready to rock. Keen Paul Kelly Facebook watchers have also received some credible rumours about a Hunters and Collectors related release…

As for gigs, the status of Hunters remains ambiguous. No strong rumours out there – as in, I definitely have not got anything concrete to suggest they may be in the works – but rumours persist none the less.

2013 should be an interesting year 🙂
