January has certainly been a month of hibernation for us. We’ve been slowly working on the new album. Ok, did I SWEAR that it would be out by the first weekend in March? Hmmmm…..maybe not. However, we are all very excited about it, it is sounding very good and it won’t be too much later than that (I hope!). I hate eating crow. It’s really only good with a really fine burgundy and I can’t afford it right now!
We’ve been struggling to find a name for this album…usually they come very easily, but this one is fighting back. I came up with numerous names while doing a boring drive to Richmond but they were all shot down. Cretins. Hey, what’s wrong with “Stairway to Tir-nan-Og”?!?! That said, no obvious contenders have come up. Any ideas?
We are dedicating January and February to the album (and day jobs too sadly) so no gigs, but March is already busy for us…New Deal Cafe for the first time in ages – that will be fun. Also, North Texas Irish Festval again hooray AND our very exciting opportunity to open for the great Niamh Parsons at Wolftrap. Check the schedule page for more details.
