Hi everyone,

Although this blog is kind of defunct as I changed the name of my musical adventures, I thought I would post and tell you that I have received my first mention in the national music press...see page 73...

I am writing a new song using my beloved power chords - it has a PJ Harvey feel.

The Luna Lovegoods has changed their name!

Yes I've decided in a bid to just consolidate the various parts of my personality and make life easier for myself that I can't carry on with The Luna Lovegoods name any longer and so I shall now be known musically and in every other way as Kathleen & The Dreaded Opium (Kathleen Opium for short).

You will soon be able to find everything you need to at www.kathleenandthedreadedopium.com and on www.alicemagazine.co.uk

Keep an eye out for some interviews and more radio plays!

Interviews With Luna Lovegoods

I've been answering a few questions for some people recently which may make it into print, I'll let you know. It's been mainly info about being a music journalist and a songwriter, some were quite focused on women in music.

There are plans for more re-records and some new songs. Sit tight!!

Going Back To Ulverston

Hi everyone - I am heading back to Ulverston for a week long holiday tommorow. I think I need to re-charge my batteries.

Over the past few weeks I have done a little tentative practising and am working on a cover of REM's "Let Me In" as well which is one of my favourite REM songs. I am finding it fun, tough on the jaw and the fingers but fun nonetheless.

Anyway, I shall see you all when I return! x
