Chattering Classes #19 - Mojo Fury
They've been threatening an incredible debut album for several years and it's finally ready for the world to deal with.
But before Mike Mormecha from Mojo Fury does anything else, there's the small matter of an online chat with our Rigsy. Strange one this, with chats about the merits of Warren G and Rigsy's internet short circuiting much to Mike and the band's amusement...
(Please note: the conversation is printed exactly as it happened so all spelling mistakes and typos are entirely down to Rigsy being a fool...)

3:21pm Mike says: mojo aint a straight forward thing to market and put out but to have a great team of people and support from the like of you guys is making the dream/plan come true cause its different and gritty man, not fully original but you still dont know whats around the corner for 40 mins so its fun
3:22pm Rigsy says: great. listen mate we're totally rootin for you guys. amazing times high five the absolute face off each of them on my behalf but be gentle at the same time
