It's Out!

So, finally, after what seems like an age, the new album is out there and flying on the winds. Responses so far have been incredible to say the least. It's an odd feeling, finally being at this point. We're so proud of this; it's been an amazing journey, so thank you to Martin, Geoff, Robert, Bells, Al, Maria, Ange, the Steves, BassLee, Kevin, Cillian, Ross, Doogs, Jen, Ben, Rhydian, Davy, DrumLee...

A Smashing Competition!

Hi All,

There's a fantastic competition running at the moment for those of you that pre-order the new CD to win tickets to the amazing National Folk Festival in Canberra over the Easter Weekend (April 21-25). This is a complete package including 2 adult season tickets and full camping, and is worth a whopping $780.00.

Here's the link to the order page

This year's National is looking like being the best ever, with overseas artists such as Andy Irvine, Davy Stuart, Nancy Kerr, James Fagan & Martha Tiltson, Alan Reid from the legendary Battlefield Band, and local brilliance like Shane Howard, William Barton, the Crooked Fiddle Band, Eric Bogle, the brilliant Bushwhackers and the wonderful Kavisha Mazella (OAM!). Ah look, there's just too many good people to list, so go here:

National Folk Festival

And flights to Canberra are quite reasonable at the moment so there's no excuse!

Wednesday News

Hi all,

Few things to announce this evening!

We are extremely pleased to be able to say that we'll be performing at the 45th National Folk Festival in Canberra from April 21-25 (Easter Weekend). This isn't big-noting, it's all official now and we can't wait! We been before in various situations, but never all four of us together. We'll post more info when the program is made official later this month.

The 30-second TV commercial for the new album is complete, and will be screening on the ABC later this month. This is something that we're all still gobsmacked about -us ont' telly! There's even a chance we'll make it onto satellite TV too. 100 personalized preview copies of the album went out this week to press and publicity people, which apparently is unprecedented by the ABC. The level of support and enthusiasm we've been getting from them has been above and beyond, and really, the adventure is only just beginning.

The album launch has been set for Sat 19 Feb, and in a lovely turn of luck we're able to use Ferry Road Studios again. We'll be sending out a newsletter later on this week with all the details, so if you're not signed up, now's a good time, the link is up there to the right.

And finally, we're off this weekend to shoot a film clip for the song Bushes and Briars. This involves us looking all windswept and interesting at some ungodly hour in the morning (for the magic light). We'll let you know how it goes!

Exciting times!
