Chatter from Beccy: "In short, we're going in the studio today and in two weeks time hope to have made a hit record. Got a lot of tracking, tea drinking, arguing and 'can i just do that bit again?'-ing to do but we're really excited about it.

"On friday we're having all our mates down with guitars and booze and tambourines - hoping to have a huge singalong song on the album. which should be fun!"
