Hey Folks
Just to let everybody know what Ive been up to over the last couple of months and whats in store for the next couple of months too. Ive been working quite a lot on new songs for the third album which will definitely be out this year. Lou Natkin spent a couple of months last year producing and mixing a lot of the songs, Lou has worked with Brian Wilson, Joan Jett and The Monkees. Ive also spent the last number of months with John Murphy here in Dundalk trying to finish the album and I reckon within the next 2 months we should see a closure on it. I will post a song on the website very shortly to give you a taste of whats to come. Anyway there are a couple of dates coming up shortly and I hope to see you at some of them. Until then take care.
