Hi everyone - Jimbo here with a quick bleary-eyed update on what's been going on in Hamfatland since the show aired.
We watched the program last night in a club in Soho with family, friends and everyone who's been involved. It was a brilliant night - great atmosphere, nice bar tab and the show itself was less embarrassing than I'd feared it might be. After we'd been on, all of our phones went mental with calls and texts from mates, journos and people who once met us three years ago and have suddenly decided they're our best mates.
We all crashed in some student halls of residence (£75k may sound like a lot of cash, but once you've recorded, mixed, mastered, promoted, distributed etc etc it doesn't leave much for swanky accommodation) and eventually got to bed around 1.30am.
So when our tour manager woke us at 4.30am to go to the GMTV studio I wasn't feeling too clever. Anyway, after hanging about in the green room for a while (this seems to happen a lot) Eoin and Jamie did an interview and then we performed The Girl I Love for the first time - hope everyone liked it.
Apparently Chris Moyles gave Peter Jones (and the band name) a bit of a classic slagging on his show this morning! He played The Girl I Love, and the song's also had some airtime on BBC2, BBC6 and Virgin Radio I think, so that's all good.Jamie's just told me that the Director of play.com has said that it's one of the fastest selling indie singles they've had so fingers crossed for our first top forty chart position.
Anyway I think I may be rambling now (lack of sleep is really kicking in!) but we're off out for a drink or two in Camden later so I think it'll have to be Vodka Red Bulls to keep me conscious. Got to get back to Cambridge tonight though because we're on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire tomorrow morning, and I don't fancy another 4.30am start.
Hope you're all enjoying the music - and if you haven't downloaded the Girl I Love yet get yo sweet ass on it NOW!!!
Much love, Jimbo
