You can purchase it at http://www.downloadmusic.ie or

Text "music 464" to this number : 57501

It cost 99 cent but more on that later

After that you will be given a password which you can use to download the single from this site http://www.downloadmusic.ie

Now..the thing is it doesn't register with the charts unless the song is actually downloaded. So doing me a favour and buying it..but not downloading…wont help. So could you either download the song yourself or if you want…..

I will download it so it registers

You can download it yourself then again later

AND…keep the text on your phone. Show the text at any of the gigs listed on my myspace…and get 2 euro off the admission fee (if there is a charge on the door) ….so….you actually end up making money!! (brilliant!)

Hello. I haven't updated this in ages. No excuses...apart from laziness. However, while I was slacking off on web work, we have been really busy elsewhere. Since the last update we played the magnificant Spielgeltent (visit the news page to see photos), played the Castlepalooza Festival, played the Green room in Dublin and finished the recording, mixing and mastering of 5 songs (Like the world never ended, Lovelight, If Your who I think you are, Flying Blind and If you feel). We are excited and delighted with the final result. Something will happen soon with them. I also had the pleasure of doing some solo support slots (most notably Mundy, Josh Rouse and Dara) and the odd singer-songwriter gig (www.corksingersongwriter.com and Jon leahy's Sessions). I gave loads of songs their "debut" and the ones that are most likely to stick around are Ghosts, Running from the Raincloud, Deep Sea Diving and View of the World. There is some fighting going on between them to see which make the next cd. Aoife and myself are off doing some acoustic shows. We are playing The Candlelight Sessions in Waterford on Oct 27th and then playing some gigs in New York!!! Already confirmed is the Caffe Vivaldi on Nov 9th, the SideWalk Cafe - Nov 12th and the C-Note - Nov 13th. See the gigs page for more details. So if your reading this and are from New York or Waterford pop along..if not and you have family and friends living in NY please tell them come along. Thanks and see ye soon, Cormac 

Cormac and Aoife from Irish band The Citadels are playing the following acoustic gigs in New York.

	Nov 13th 2005	The C-Note 157 Ave. C at 10th Street New York, 9.00pm

VOTE FOR US HERE How ye. Since the last update. I supported Mark Geary in City Limits. Thanks Mark, Dave, Janice and Chloe for that one. And the crowd there were great. Thanks everyone for listening. The full band also made the trip up to Dublin for the Gaiety (Thanks Sara!). We had a really good time and the sound was brilliant. (Thanks to all the dancers too!). We have photos of the Gaiety gig in the contact section of the site. In fact there are now more photos in the contact page than there is in the photos page. A big thank you to Charles for all the photos. The bad news though is the Lobby gig scheduled for March 19th has been cancelled, although we are looking to have it somewhere else at the moment. Fingers crossed. We're in the studio again this week. An all day job on Saturday. Good luck to us. Oh..and there is an Airplay vote thing happening on the New York internet radio station (Radio Crystal Blue). You can vote for us here. Cheers, Cormac.
