Patient: Italian translation
I would like to thank Carbonio Editore who published my memoir, Patient in Italian translation this year. It also got a small book award nomination in Italy over the summer too. Thanks, everyone. It joins earlier Swedish and Spanish translations.

New era for EBTG
My label Buzzin' Fly was lucky enough to acquire the rights to the lion's share of the Everything But The Girl back catalogue from Warner Music recently. It means a new era. Although no new album or tour is planned, we have overhauled the website and made a vast amount of music available online. There are also new photos in high resolution for download, and a new video channel for music videos and live performances. Take a look.

Buzzin' Fly Throwback
This month we have relaunched the Buzzin' Fly website, which has been dormant for over a year. I just felt I owed it to the label to give it a proper home; I know there is still a lot of love out there for it. Apart from a state-of-the-art web design, we have also added a few special touches, for example the new Mixes page, where we are going to upload some vintage DJ sets from the label's heyday. The catalogue is also in full effect, and you can access tracks on various platforms. We have also written an in-depth history. I've even put together a Spotify playlist of the best-sellers and most enduring tracks.
Step back and enjoy what was a wonderful few years. Oh, and there are also pages for sister label, Strange Feeling and my current project, Unmade Road.
