ON a positive note, the launch of the To The Bones single and video last week (which yes, I have developed a mild obsession with) was absolutely packed.

At a time when a lot of people are complaining that local gigs are poorly attended, it was heartwarming to see that when a band and their team put in so much effort they are rewarded.

And the video looks incredible. It's on YouTube now, and will probably turn up on music television at some point in the near future - probably post-watershed though.

So here's to bands who try their hearts out - and to the fans who turn out and support them.
