Читать книгу Yearn to Burn: A Pyrography Master Class - Simon Easton - Страница 4

This book is dedicated with my sincere appreciation to the following people:

To my gorgeous wife, Jane, for her ongoing love and support.

To my beautiful daughter, Bethan, and my stepsons, Howell, Harry, and Freddie.

I will not be allowed to forget the pets . . . so thanks also to our Jack Russell, Pickle, and the gerbils, Luna and Fleur.

To the true friends out there who stand by me through thick and thin (some of whom also stand by me at the barrier of various rock concerts), and a special mention must go out to the following people: Rhys Miles, Jez Long, Tam Gale, Tim Emery, Jason Murphy, Barry Walker, Sarah Preston, Steve Pengilly, Sara Sayers, Will Smith, Nigel and Angela Norman, Chailey and Hayley Illman, Jon Chandler, Kim Pringle, Wayne Harvey, Gavin Johnson, Krishan Singh, Steve Dudden, Jason Soper, Adrian Hextall, John Elsdon, and Kay Dickinson.

From a crafting and creative perspective, a huge thank you to Bud Sperry, Katie Ocasio, and the crew behind the scenes at Fox Chapel Publishing; Pete Moncrieff-Jury at Bodrighy Wood; Lindsey White at Splatt Art; Colin Ellis at Dalescraft; Steve Jardine at Craftshapes; David Mounstephen and the team at Yandles & Sons Ltd; Ian Lockhart at Antex; Tony Kwasniak at GMC Publications; Terry Smart at Chestnut Products; Andrea Cooke at Picture It, Thatcham; Milan Bharadia of Kitty’s Kombucha; Tim and Rachel Buxton, for the work space; plus Roger Mortimer and all of the guys at Sound Knowledge, Marlborough.

And I could not have tackled this book without the inspiration provided to me by numerous musicians and bands that display a truly independent spirit to keep fighting for the principles of creativity in the face of soulless industry adversity . . . so a massive shout-out to Ginger Wildheart, James, Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls, Eureka Machines, Ryan Hamilton and the Harlequin Ghosts, The Idol Dead (especially to Polly and KC for allowing me to use your Eric logo!), CJ Wildheart, Massive Wagons, The Urban Voodoo Machine, Therapy?, Scott Sorry, Role Models, The Main Grains, The Scaramanga Six, Boss Caine, Chris Catalyst, The Slow Readers Club, Paul Miro, William the Conqueror, Terrorvision, Tax The Heat, Baby Chaos, The Dowling Poole, Tony Wright, Case Hardin, The Levellers, Exit_International, The Twilight Sad, The Spangles, Ferocious Dog, She Makes War, PowderKeg, and finally (“Never Outdrunk, Never Outsung”) . . . The Wildhearts. Look them all up and have a listen; you won’t regret it.

Massive kudos and respect also to Alastair Hercalees Duncan, who keeps many of the above bands going while they perform onstage. Cheers for the set lists, Dunc!
