So apparently our authorised posts, our freely available mp3s (usually supplied by a record label or a PR company) were falling foul of the new draconian Google Blogspot rules – with no room for negotiation.

So here we are starting again. A year’s work and effort, and a year’s great music wiped.

Are we downhearted. Too right we are.

But Mrs Mackerel says don’t give up. We had 20,000 visits in April before we were nuked – bear with us and we’ll get back there maybe.

Songs tomorrow we promise!
