Album News!
Greetings to all who stumble upon our web site. The Album, entitled 'Hands', is now finished. It is a 12 track feast of absolute bliss, with artwork da Vinci himself would be proud of! : ) But seriously folks, we are very happy with it and hope you are too!
We are releasing it early in 2009, where it will be available to download from a host of reputable internet sites. Or you can buy the physical product direct from our website and from select purveyors around the Emerald Isle.
Prior to all that, we will release our first single in October, which you will be able to hear on this very site. You can will be able to download the single from the reputable internet sites. Details of where it is available and when will be up in the coming days.
We are also doing a host of gigs from now 'til Christmas(sure its only a few weeks away!)
I am doing 2 solo supports to David Kitt. We are doing a full band tour of Ireland in Oct./Nov. '08 to pleasure the masses.
We are doing a Limerick and a Dublin date with the very generous Saw Doctors. Please go to the gig page to get the details.
Thanks for reading, we'll be back with more soon. x
The Record.
It is with great regret I announce that the 2 year recording saga is coming to an end. I was enjoying going to all these different countries to record a few songs, then move on to the next destination and record the same songs again! Do you think there's a name for that illness? All the songs are recorded and are going to the mixing stage. I wonder what countries that will lead us to?! (joke, joke) Autumn folks, you have my word. It will be out in Autumn. Of which year though?! : )
The Memphis Trip
A few weeks back we were invited to Memphis, Tennessee to perform at the 20th International Folk Alliance Music Conference (quiet a mouth-full) . We were the only Irish act selected to perform alongside 300 other acts from all over. It is a gathering of musicians, music enthusiasts and the music industry. It gives the selected bands a chance to showcase to all who attend, from record producers to radio DJ's and everything in between. And showcase we did! 12 gigs in 4 days at all hours of the day and night. It was amazing, with amazing music and people.
Thank you to all - Go to the Diary page to read more.
