The LAST GOODBYE

Due to the pressures of work and the fact I'm managing my own band called Echo Sound Location now, as well as doing a full time job for a rather high profile website that deal with celebrities, I've decided to concentrate on making the Kitten Shrine an archive to my memories of the Kittens between 2000 and 2002, when I was just a fan and sometimes even got to work filming them.

So now the shrine will exist for information purposes to give you a picture of what I felt about their music and them in those years, when in my view they were the best girlband in the country.

2000 had been a great year for filming them in my old job at virtuetv.com. I fell in love with their charm, humour, outrageous behaviour. But most of all I quietly fell in love with Liz McClarnon (one day I'll buy you that drink I promised you the day before Whole Again went to number 1 in the UK)

2001 was spent on the dole and with time on my hands, hence it being probably my most productive year for this site. 2002 I was back in work, but still had enough time for the site. Now I'm afraid I just don't have time. So instead the site will be an archive and reference point for those who want to find out a bit about the Kittens.

The Kittens were one of the reasons that I started writing songs again after two years when I didn't want to write a note. Since then I've actually made a little money from it and we've completed 16 tracks in our days off. Without having heard them all that time ago, I might never have re-discovered my love of music and my desire to be in a band. Thank you eternally for that Liz, Kerry and Natasha.

I'll add all the old 2000 stuff at some point and tidy up the writing, reviews and so on (yes my spelling and checking has always been this bad) when I get a free weekend. But in case I don't here's My Life With The Kittens, to remind you all why I think they are so special.

Thanks to everyone who has been a source of help over the years, especially Dom at Virgin, everyone at virtuetv and off course the girls themselves. It's the last goodbye from this as a news site, but not quite See Ya forever.
