I hope you can make it tonight!

I am doing all the last few things – my hair and make-up artist is coming over in 20 minutes… all the rest of the MAMMOTH team will be arriving staggered this afternoon at Band On The Wall….

I think I’ve done about 20 lists in all – 10 lists alone are going to Sarah Walker who is event managing it tonight (she’s also been on the fashion team, the over-all creative team and SHE”S AMAZING!!!!) AND I think I’m nearly finished with my ‘to do’!!! Yeah!! It’s been a mission organising this – but I am so excited now!! We’ve really enjoyed the dress rehearsals with Alegro string quartet, Judith on harp, guitar, bass, drums – and myself on piano / vocals…

Here we go!!!!! I’d better dry my hair!!

I am sitting at the BBC in Media City Salford, and enjoying their lovely new couches and open plan office – I can see BBC Radio Manchester, North West Sport, BBC radio 5 LIVe, 5 Live sport, Politics show, North West tonight…. and that’s just on this floor! I can see 5 more floors – all open plan with their offices – very exciting!

It is all go for the launch on Wednesday! I am waiting to sing live on BBC Radio Manchester at 3:30 – I am being interviewed a bit later than originally planned – so I am pleased I brought my office with me :)

I hope you are coming to the launch! You will miss out if you don’t!! We are doing finalising all the arrangements for the band, the charities, the hospitality team, the VIPs (clients from the charities and media folk) etc etc… my ‘to do’ list is slowly but surely getting smaller!

 Love from Hannah xx

I thought you might want to watch this… Life Association are the charity who supplied my fairly traded and organic cotton bags that my last album came packaged in. They’re a great charity based in Manchester, England but doing loads of projects in India with some of the world’s poorest people in India.  I’d love to go out there some-time soon.

Here’s their lastest slide-show – and they’re using my track ‘Beautiful’ :)
