After
Christmas on the beach here in Australia, it's goodbye
to the snakes and spiders and getting

Singer-Songwriter Festival with my Aussie band. Check
the gigs page for dates and if you're around, come down
and see us - we'll have copies of the new album with
us. Wishing you a very happy new year.

Having swept out the shack and evicted the odd
snake, it's back to work in the studio recording
Album 2 (as it's fondly known). Great to be back
in Australia despite the threat from city politicians
of a huge dam in our valley (see www.savethemaryriver.com).
We've got 4 months here to finish the new album
before we head back overseas to the UK in January.
In the meantime, Emily and band will be doing
some gigs in Australia... if you want to know
where and when, keep checking the gigs page or
join her mailing list. |
