So Z&G got the award for Best Rock Album at the SAMAs!!!!
It's been exactly one year since we released 'Collected Memories' - and although that does seem like quite a while, it's all gone pretty fast and been crazy! What Z&G has managed to achieve in 1 year is pretty exciting, but I definitely would not be here if it weren't for a whole team of people behind me and the support of all the Z&G fans.
I'd just like to say thanks so the following people:
Karl Anderson - this project would honestly not have taken off like it did without your support, enthusiasm, hard work and guidance. Thank you so much!
Warren, Dumetse & Christine (Just Music) - thank you for all your hard work behind the scenes, and for the support in the office!
Darryl Torr - you were the first person to actually believe in the material!!! Thank you for you guidance along the way, and your amazing production and mixing.
The Z&G boys (Alan, Andrew, Darren, Rob & Marinus) - it was honestly one of my biggest fears taking this album to the live stage...but then I found you guys!!! Its been an amazing 9 months playing live with you - thank you for all your hard work and the great parties! Marinus - thanks for always making us sound AMA-zing!
Family & Friends - I'm not gonna mention everyone’s by name here, but you know who you are and where you helped. Thanks for all the support and love!
Warwick Alan - I don't think 'The Knife' would have kicked so much ass if it weren't for your awesome video. You blew me away with your vision and hard work - thank you so much and thanks to the teams who worked on the videos!

I probably forgot someone - if I did and you think you deserve thanks then you fit into the 'Family & Friends' general thank you ;) hehe.
