UK fans ... your help needed!
Have you got any decent quality video footage of Robin, you’d be willing to share with his UK management team? They’re looking for video material, shot in recent times (perhaps from the last tour in 2011), using a handy cam or other hi-res film recording device, ideally better than a mobile phone. If you know of anything that would fit the bill please get in touch with Alan at manhatonrecords.
