Just me speaking now but I want to say this: Over the years PotterCast has been so bleeping lucky to be joined by so many talented wonderful groups, like we will be again this summer. I’ve gotten to see so many great groups and speak to them along the way at the various cons and shows. All are fabulous, very diverse and unique in the most joyful sense possible, and I urge you to check out the various groups if you havent yet, I think you will be astonished at the talent and high quality of music. However, the guys in the Ministry are all very talented, and for me personally, when Mark from the Ministry sings, it’s like this amazing, miraculous, dare I say.. magical sound, truly so. Daft I know, but he really is quite talented, they all are; it is a true honor they are joining us!
I know that everyone who might want to can not make it to Leaky Con, but please, if you have not registered yet, now is the time. As for PC I have a feeling yall will be able to hear this at some point, so fear not! :) Thanks again for your continuing support of PotterCast!
