MJ Hibbett & The Validators

Hello everyone, hope you had a lovely Christmas and are enjoying my FAVOURITE aspect of The Christmas Holidays: THE ENORMOUS INTER-FESTIVE GAP...

Hello all, you find me sat at home gently gearing up for our Christmas Dinner, which is TONIGHT! I'm off to see my Mum tomorrow so we always have our Christmas Day on The 23rd - The Decorations On My Tree and The Landlady are both at work today, so I'm going to be a WHIRLWIND of VEG PREP later on...

I was all ready and KEYED UP on Saturday to do my Final Gig Of The Year, until I realised it was ALSO my Final Gig Of The Decade...

There's not a huge amount going on right now - we're gently preparing for The Last Validators Gig Of The Year on Sunday (about 6.30pm at The Hope & Anchor in That London, at the PopArt all-dayer - do come along!) and we're booked for a MAMMOTH recording session for most of December 30th, but apart...

All is STILL here at The House Of Hibbett as the MENTALLY BUSY year that was 2009 finally gets a bit quiet...

I've been banging on about it for ages and AT LAST they're finished - ladies and gentlemen, I am VERY proud to present BOTH videos for my Christmas Single I Got You What You Want For Christmas: ...

I stopped off in glamorous BETHNAL GREEN on the way home, to go to a MEETING! Yes, a MEETING, i am SO grown-up! I was off to visit a software company called Avaloop for something John The Publisher had contacted me about earlier in the week...

I've got TWO things to tell you about today, i shall do them in the following order: The First shall be first, The Second shall be second. It's a crazy idea but it just might work...
