ALBUM NEWS AND OTHER GOINGS ON
Well my debut album, The Wisdom Out Of The Wound, was finally released on May 1st.There was only 100 copies pressed and nearly half are already gone!! It has recieved a wonderful review from Mick Mercer..
"....like a modern Kate Bush at her moodiest. It really is very beautiful...A great record and madness to think it’s so limited in numbers.... those who get one will treasure it."
You can read the rest of the review here
If you wish to get hold of this you can buy it direct from me at gigs or through the website..http://www.imprintme.co.uk/news.htm
Be quick!
I am...at present working on a couple of tracks in collaboration with another band,which will be part of a novel!
This is very exciting for me and i cannot wait to tell you more!
I have also given an interview for Donnarc magazine in the UK..You can read it here
More interviews are all lined up.
There really is a LOT going on for Imprint at the moment and i will be updating my website and myspace with full details on the next couple of weeks,so make sure you keep your eyes on it.
