July 2007 New News
It's a bit rubbish when you look at a website and none of the news has changed for ages. We'll try to add some tit-bits (a vastly underused expression) on a regularish basis.

We have a pretty website. It's shiny and new, so there may be a few teething problems - please bear with us. Tell all your friends, enemies, neighbours, pets, family and mysterious strangers to drop in sometime.
Love Lucky Number Nine Records.
