Hi folks
The new line-up debuted at Charlies Coffee Shop in Belfast at the
beginning of August, and since then has been busy recording. As you may
be aware the band recently signed a contract to that effect with the
folks at Audio-Ill records, and have been filling their weekends since
down at Earth Studios in Carryduff, listening to the countryside and
making up songs about the weather in between takes…
…much of our time has been taken up by traveling to and from Dublin,
and with a decent selection on one’s iPod, the late night journeys
become an unexpected pleasure… we played Bruxelles two weeks ago,
(beside the Phil Lynott statue) and received an encore at The Globe on
Gt George’s St just last Wednesday. We finally managed to bag a gig in
the beautiful Spirit Store down by the docks in Dundalk, where we spent
time between sound-checks dangling our feet off the pier and sampling
the local delicacies (burger and chips, that is).. here’s Ciara on the
ocarina in said venue,
the upcoming month sees us similarly engaged,
…on
Wednesday 9th September, we return to
Charlies Coffee Shop, Bradbury Place,
Belfast, to play a set, where the atmosphere routinely spills out onto
the street, and occasionally goes on a little later than expected… the
following
Friday 11th September, Feile FM 103.2
will be chatting with us and letting us play a few numbers on their
Friday evening show, 8-9 pm, after which we will be heading to bed
early to prepare ourselves for
The Botanic Art Festival, Saturday 12th September,
an open style market event which will take place on Lower Crescent Park
off Botanic Avenue, which, free of charge of course, will feature
designers, musicians, artists, circus entertainers, children’s face
painting and the like.
We’ll be on at about 3:30 in Marquee 2 and will be followed by John
Shelly and the Creatures, The Greeters; and Mother Nature, who will
hopefully give us a break and let the sun shine forth. We’re off to
Dublin again the next day, being
Sunday 13th September, to play
Sunday Roast @ The Globe, at 9pm, immediately afterward being whisked off to The Docklands to do a set at
The Bosco Theatre as part of the
Dublin Fringe Festival. That’ll be happening at about 11pm.
The Delcroix Bar, Buncrana Rd at 5:45 pm Friday 25th September, where we will be joined by our Belfast buddies Jackson Cage, afterward hauling our carcasses southward to play…
Bound for Boston, Waterloo St, at 11:45, with Pocket Promise…
…then its off to a friend’s house (hopefully!) to rest up for the evening, whereon we will be returning to...
Masons, Magazine St. that Saturday 26th September at 5:00 to round off the festival in the company of Matt McGinn and Jackson Cage once again,
at which point we will return to Belfast, sleep for about two hours,
and return to our day jobs as if all had been a bizzare dream. And
maybe then we’ll start working on a mail out for all the engagements we
have planned for October (and their name is Legion…)
all the best with your adventures and endeavours
