thanks everyone!! that's great indeed. Phil, I'll email you now. Ross, I'm flattered that Strike The Colours Graphic Design should become a reality in question 12. Arab Strap Graphic Design would possibly lose you your job! I emailed some of the folk you mentioned Stuart earlier today and so I'm just waiting for a reply now. thanks for all the encouragement. Booking your own shows is a bit deflating, like in a job interview when you get asked why you deserve the job. Anyways, I'll let you know how I get on. Jxx
