----------------------------------------------------------------------

On May 28th 2006, the four members of Athlete gathered in the studio they’d just finished building, a short hop from their south east London homes. Three days earlier, the band’s ’Wires’ single had been named Best Contemporary Song at the Ivor Novello awards. Now it was time for Athlete to make some new music. They picked up their instruments, took a collective deep breath and pressed the record button.

As a big fan, I would be grateful it if anyone passing through here could take the time to listen to my music.

I appreciate that My Space is overflowing with this kind irritating self-promotion but you never know; you might like what you hear.

Feel free to leave any comments or feedback - I always respond.

Peace and Best Wishes.

Richie.

Hi there,

thank you so much for helping and supporting me with my first book LEAVING THE COMFORT ZONE. The book has been out in Europe for a month now and will be released in the rest of the world in mid October.

I hope that you'll purchase a copy and enjoy it; an artist is nothing without a response, so I look forward to hearing from you. You can order the book on Amazon.com. And of course, if at all possible, please buy it at a nearby shop. Support your local bookstore!

Thank you,

Olaf

Hi!

*******************************

Behind the scenes

Behind the scenes there’s always You.
Behind the veil that I can’t pass through.
Despite the shroud it’s hope, that I see
Holding me.
But one day we’ll meet eye to eye.
Into Your arms I will fly.
There’ll be no more doubt, no more night –
Only You!
