This will be the very last journal
entry here. As you have probably all heard by now, my
friend irma are no more. On behalf of the boys in the
band, I would like to thank you all for your support since we started
in 1998! It really has been great. Please do transfer your
interest to a band called 'The Dead Echoes', featuring a strangely
familiar line-up :-) Visit www.thedeadechoes.com
and update your browser favourites! They launch at a venue
called Ocean, in Hackney on
Saturday 13th March 2004. As
ever, it would be good to see a lot of you there. Exciting
times! Thank you one and all !

| We spent most of
October jamming, and working on new material in the Tallow
Room studios. We are looking to pick 3 or 4 tracks to
work up and record in the new year. You never know, we
might even play one or two at The Alma on the 22
November! We won't be gigging quite
so much in the next few months, so we can focus on these new
recordings, but are planning a healthy gig schedule for next
year. |

| Thanks to everybody
who has made this summer a successful one for my friend
irma. The gigs have been great, the album has been
well received, and there is a really good feeling about it
all. We are finalising the irmaster plan for
global success at the moment. We have decided upon a
scheme to get ourselves known, and I'm quietly confident that it
will work. More later... Cheers, Tim (PS I'll
also make sure that the website gets updated a bit more
often) |

| Before the rumours
get totally out of hand, let us set the record straight. my
friend irma have not, are not about to, and never were
going to split. I can confirm however that for the
foreseeable future we shall be performing as a four piece.
Jenni Downs has currently left the
group. There is no acrimony involved and we would like to
state that it may not be a permanent fixture. Jenni has
her own reasons, which due to our respect towards our friend
shall remain private. We wish her well and thank her for
her immense contribution towards the legacy of my friend
irma. |

Finally 'apothecary
now' is in the shops! Now all we have to do is
travel up and down the country promoting it. Go and buy
it! Come on you won't regret it and at least it'll keep the wolf
from our collective door. Well that's the hard sell
over. Where do we go now? Post 'apothecary'? Sure we got a
lot of leftovers still in the can, but some of these were
leftovers from 'TBML' too! Maybe the can is the best place for
them.
Thing is 'apothecary now' is the 'vexata quaestio'. I'm pretty
sure the physical 'My Friend Irma'
would find it a rather Gordian enterprise to attempt to engineer
such a near miraculous balancing act a second time! So where do
we go? We're at an intellectual 'crossroads', and with its
reputation in folklore for suicides and the devil that's
probably the best place for 'apothecary now'! I guess we just
got to shed our dead skin and go somewhere else! |

| Phew! The hard
work isn't over yet, but it all seems to be coming together very
well. We're all looking forward to the album launch this Saturday
3rd May at our favourite venue The
Boat Race. I am also looking forward to reviews and
opinions on the new album apothecary now. The band
has put a lot of time and effort into making it as good as we
can, and I'm very proud of it. The tour over the summer
has fallen in to place pretty easily too. Today Cambridge,
tomorrow... Ipswich ! |
