Hey all,

After an extremely relaxing Christmas holiday, followed by various colds, flus and back to work blues…. things are getting back to normal for us. We’ve been busy in the rehearsal room, readying songs for new recording sessions starting in February, so it’s back to Chem19 for some more good times. We’ve also be honing three tracks for a live session for Rory McConnell’s Radio 1 show, taking place next week… stay tuned for details of broadcast dates!

We’re also fitting some gigs in around this, so look out for shows in Dundalk (Jan 31st), Belfast (6th & 18th Feb) and a Whelan’s show Dublin on 28th Feb, supporting the excellent Cashier No.9.

The first Belfast show mentioned above, on Friday 6th February, is actually an acoustic set at UnConvention Belfast. This is an ‘unconference’ that i’m helping to organise. For anyone interested in the development of the music industry, or making new contacts or seeking inspiration for their own music career development, UnConvention is the place to be. Check out the website at unconventionbelfast.com for details and registration! Thanks to the generosity and vision of our key sponsors at Belfast City Council Creative Industry unit, and NIMIC its free to attend too, tho places are quickly running out.

Finally, check out this video, shot by Barry Cullen of us performing ‘Burning Sand’ at our recent show at the Menagerie. cheers to Barry for putting it up there

All in all, we’re looking forward to a fun, productive and creative 2009. Thanks for listening so far!

Rich
