So the holiday season’s over, the new CD is in final production with delivery scheduled for the last week of September in good time for the launch gig at the Newhampton Arts Centre in Wolverhampton (see their web site). If you are intending to come to that gig please get your tickets as soon as possible because it does have limited capacity.
After lots of prevarication the new CD is to be called ‘For Love nor Money’ and it has ten songs from John with a couple of new tunes written by Allie and Chris, a set of tunes, and a cover of Iris DeMent’s wonderful ‘Easy’s getting harder every day’ featuring Emma on vocals and a beautiful fiddle and accordion section with Phil Beer and Allie.
There are new gigs on the list and we just enjoyed a storming gig at the Woodman folk club (Kingswinford), which has a great atmosphere in its new venue. Next up is the launch gig and we look forward to seeing some of you there. After that we head to Banbury for the Canalside Festival and then November sees John, Emma and Allie at the Carrington Folk Club in Nottingham (Blimey — John outnumbered); the band at Vicky’s renowned Unicorn Folk Club near Wheaton Aston and a first concert at Lichfield Arts Centre that we are really looking forward to.
The New Year kicks off with a return to the excellent Newhampton Acoustic Club in Wolverhampton and we will update the website later with further 2009 gigs including news of some very exciting gigs at the Newhampton Arts Centre (Wolverhampton) which are being organised by the incomparable David Brookes.
See you soon
