Evidence of Drug Taking at Eurovision Song Contest 2013?
I have two questions relating to the Eurovision Song Contest. Who the hell comes up with the decisions for the Eurovision entries for the UK and are they on drugs? The Eurovision should nurture new UK talent not showcase aging rockers who have had a nice career, had their moment and should now be on a Saga holiday.

HOLICE update Blog SHOCKER

The Sexiest HOLICE Video Yet
The video to the next single “Release” is currently in the edit suite and it’s looking fabulous. We took the typical HOLICE approach to making a video…. get a location then worry about the details on the day. I have to say Loopy (Louise) worked herself really hard and we had a great time. She did get a bit raunchy though meaning a little bit of editing is required…….. oh sod it, it’s a pop video.
Why the DEMO is dead
It may interest you to know that the DEMO is dead. Yep, as a Dodo. I very often still hear people going on about going into a recording studio to record a demo.

HOLICE on Wikipedia
One of the hardest tasks facing any indie band or musician who is trying to establish a fan base and a following, not to mention fake cred along the way, is getting an entry on Wikipedia. Have you ever tried to get on Wikipedia? You make a page and then within two weeks its gone thanks to the over enthusiastic moderators who have too much power. In order to get an entry you need to meet certain targets or achievements to warrant being left alone. Each category is different and music has it’s own set of rules.

How to Write and Produce a Song
One of the questions I get asked is often is “How do you write your songs?” This is one of those $64 million (dollar) questions for any songwriter / producer because everyone has a different approach, so I’m about to tackle this head on in the way that I do it.
