| Mal Holmes has been keeping busy recently. One of the projects that he's been working on includes remastering interviews and material for Julia Lennon (John Lennon's half-sister). This includes a rare interview that Julia conducted with Paul McCartney from 1987. The material is for a private collection but some is planned for archiving in the Beatles Museum.
Mal has also continued to work with singer Jo Mooney with plans for the release of a CD EP. The Messages Website has also been updated with a preview feature on Mal Holmes and an interview with Jo Mooney.
