Well, another year nearly over and one which I will look back at with great fondness,

It started off in Feb with the release of the album "Desire" which achieved great sales and support, then out of the blue in May, the song"19" Went back into the British National Charts and made top10 on the Itunes chart , we donated the profits from this to a Children's charity,

Around the same time I got the great news that I had been given permission from Universal/Motown that I could use the Vocal of Marvin Gaye on My Album Hardcastle 6, I had been waiting for their decision for almost a Year !!!

I must say that recording the track "Rainforest/What's going on" was one of the best times I have ever had in the studio ever, Many of you have said maybe it's the best record I have ever done! well I would't disagree !

A month later The Album Hardcastle 6 Made it to the top on Billboards contemporary Chart. and nominated for Best Album of 2011 by BET, We then released the 2nd single "Easy come Easy go" which went to number 1 on all 5 SJ charts and remained there for 9 Weeks,

I did an album collaboration with Chill artist Ryan Farish called "Transcontinental" released via Digital worldwide

Another amazing moment, I was contacted by Pacha and duly signed a record deal with them, the album is out next year.

The I phone App featuring 19 was released in october and was the best selling track for the App.

So exactly 30 years to the month after my first ever solo record "AM" went to the top of the UK Club Chart It's come full circle now.

On a final note ,

Yes all of the above is Fantastic and I'm proud of what's been achieved over the years "BUT" none of this would have been possible without the great support and loyalty of You the fans... So Once again thanks so much for making it all possible.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year

Best Wishes Paul
