Hi everyone,

Just to let you all know that Different Drums of Ireland have now made our back main catalogue available as a download for your ipod or computer.

The First EP from 1999 has been out of print  and this is the first time for many years that we will have been able to make it available.

The download format means that you receive the music instantaneously and directly to your computer, there are also image files of the covers. Of course the only thing that you don't get is a physical CD which is why downloads are significantly cheaper.

We're also working with the download company to introduce bundles where if you buy more than one product there will either be a discount or a number of bonus tracks. Let us know what you prefer and we'll organise that

Anyway, the download page is available from our music page on the website or by clicking here

The Downloaders have also reviewed the Cds without any prompting from ourselves and we are their artist of the month which is very cool.

Thank you to everyone who came out at Irishfest and supported the band, it really means a lot to us. We very much look forward to coming back and playing for you again.

Keep sending the photographs and the video for our gallery and our myspace / youtube sites - we're an official youtube director now which means we can bring you bigger and better examples of our work and of the craic we have on the road. I've just uploaded the 2003 tour diary in its entirety, 26 minutes so go make a coffee and enjoy.

The second half of the Milwaukee blog is nearly finished, I'm on Saturday evening at the minute - watch this space :)

Paul
