Hey Mark,
I miss your Revoltage column in QX mag SO MUCH!
for me it was the best reference of what was going on in London specially now that I don’t live there anymore.
Would it be possible if you drop us one of your FAB Charts more often?
we would l.o.v.e it!
tu fan numero uno, vic
cheers!
Thanks Vic. So glad you enjoyed the QX columns. I had fun when I was doing them. I will try and post more regular charts again. In the mean time I’ve just put up my best of 2012. Have a great new year!
