A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM TOBY
December 24th 2006
(As posted on MySpace Blog on
December 24th)
Hi there, just
wanted to drop a line to all who have joined my myspace site over the last
few months. Firstly as the holiday period fast approaches:
MERRY
CHRISTMAS AND A GREAT NEW YEAR!
As I type this
message we have just hit the 10,000 friends point and it is
still going.
This is an
incredibly exciting thing for me and I thank each and every one of you for
taking the time to accept the invitation, send the invites, listen to the
music and join up. For the most part I know that many see myspace as a kind
of glorified popularity contest and a cheap marketing tool.
I however do not.
I see it as the
most exciting direct source of connection we have at our disposal through
this medium. How else can musicians, fans, PEOPLE connect so easily to one
another?
If
anyone had told me this was possible 10 years ago I would have scoffed and
dreamt of the idea instead. But it is a reality and it is an incredible
thing to watch the song play counter rising everyday and to get awesome
messages of support from new fans and to reacquaint myself with many old
mates and fans from my previous career as singer of the Little Angels.
This is a journey
of rediscovery in every kind of way and I hope that the majority of you will
stick around to take part in that journey. I have recently completed the
first new music for 4 years and am very excited about the prospect of taking
it out onto a stage near you where perhaps we can make greater contact and
forge something that can last into the future.
As well as this site I would encourage all of you to
visit my main site:
www.tobyjepson.com
in the very near future we will be making huge changes
to include greater access to my music and filmed work. There is to be a
member's only section and better access to the band as well as the tickets
for tours and discounted merchandise. It would be great if you would also
consider joining the forums as we have already built a cool little band of
brothers and sisters who regularly pop in and just talk, largely about music
but perhaps more importantly get to know each other and just make our
community a cool place to visit.
There is also a
US
version of the site that is currently in the process of being overhauled
should you care to take a look.
www.tobyjepson.us
I intend to keep
writing blogs and stopping by all the sites over the coming months to
maintain the contact with all those who have shown an interest in my life
and music, I feel it would be rude not to, so please feel free to email
questions etc as often as you like and I will endeavour to answer all as
bets I can.
Next year (07) I
think will be a pivotal year for me and my band, we intend to tour as much
as possible in the UK specifically but also where ever else will have us and
it would please us greatly if you felt compelled to visit us at a venue near
you. Keep an eye out for the dates of new releases and gigs here and on my
official site (above address)
It leaves me just
to thank you all once again and to welcome you wholeheartedly to this
adventure
See you on the
ice
