Julian's fifth book, his second epic tome on the prehistoric sites of Europe, The Megalithic European was published today by ThorsonsElement. Julian will soon be appearing at a book store near you for talks and signings (see below). This fantastic 496 page guide to the megalithic sites of mainland Europe follows on in the tradition of The Modern Antiquarian - each site personally visited and recorded by Julian and beautifully illustrated and packaged to boot.

And don't forget that ThorsonsElement is currently running a competion where you could win one of ten copies of the book by answering a simple question. Visit www.thorsonselement.com/megalithiceuropean for complete details.

In other news, Head Heritage has recently released, through Revell Discs a live compilation cd of tracks recorded during Julian's 1991 tour of Japan. The cd is available through the merchandiser at HH and contains thirteen tracks. Order your copy today!

Launch of the new look Trampolene. Changes this time around are larger pictures of the covers in the music secion, as well as each release now having its own page to hopefully make loading faster. Also, all text is now on white background which should help if you need to print anything out.

A belated new year to one and all! Starting off 2004 with archiving all the old news. Its still all here though, and can be found on the news archive links to the left.

By all accounts the gig at the end of last October in Liverpool and the 3 nights at the Lyric Theatre in London were a great success. Hopefully soon Trampolene will get to enjoy them vicariously through the works of the bootlegger.

Please note that the contact email address for Trampolene has changed. Please send all enquiries/questions/comments to info@trampolene.ca. Your feedback and contributions are always welcomed and encouraged!

Last November I did have the great honour of meeting up with Thighpaulsandra, Doggen and Kevlar again when Spiritualized swung into Vancouver of their North American tour. As always, it was a great show and it was a pleasure to meet the guys again. They also did an acoustic in-store performance in the afternoon at the Virgin Megastore in downtown Vancouver, of which I will hopefully post some pictures very soon (I haven't had them developed yet!).

Thanks to all those who wrote me and email stuff last year. I will get around to posting the scans and pics people sent very soon, I promise!
