The CD "Not Far Away" is excepted from this offer (the proceeds go to the

Because many people have asked for it,
Diana Siegler has translated the lyrics of Not Far Away
also into German.

I wish to thank the fans for all their heartfelt comments concerning "Not Far Away".
Many people have their own stories to tell of family members who are suffering from cancer,
and this stirs very emotional feelings when they hear the song.
Please continue to tell us your thoughts and to share
the experience of listening to this song with others.
Thank you.

June 2004

Martin is submitting "Dancing in the Moonlight",
a song co-written by Suzi Quatro and sung by his daughter, Stef, to Phil Coulter.
Phil was the host of the TV show in Ireland which featured the music of Mike Chapman.

Martin has created the music for Diana Siegler's beautiful words titled "Not Far Away".
The song is written from the point of view of a child who has died from leukaemia.
It just remains to record the vocals before Diana may hear her completed work,
which is in aid of a childrens' charity.

********

Martin has been invited to take part on the jury of the International Music Festival
in Prague on November 6th this year.
Unfortunately, due to work committments with Smokie, he is unable to attend.
However, the invitation from Ludek Malar is open for the future.

In the next few weeks Martin and the other members of Smokie
are busy to put the finishing touch to the new CD,
which probably shall be released in August.
And also there will be a nearly three weeks tour
through South Africa in February/March.
So he hardly has time at the moment for his own projects.

Martin will be visiting Australia for the whole of January
and plans to visit Uluru, of course,
just to see how awesome it really is and
whether his music fits the scenery.

I wish everyone a
Happy New Year!!!

Martin Bullard
