I am looking forward to 2012 having had a crazy 2011, oh yes it was all happeing. My band has been working with Tontena records and we recorded our first single under a record label. The song is called “Side of the Angels” you can find it on itunes and amazon. Work is now underway to release the EP in April which will be launched in London May/June time.

Our patience has finally paid off and we are now a registered charity, The Mudeka Foundation has been supporting Aids orphans and disadvantaged children in Zimbabwe.

We are visiting Zimbabwe in March this year to meet the children and also see the family, can’t wait. Will keep you up dated
