    CDs in / CD Release Concert This Friday!

    I just realized that I didn't post any details here on our CD release concert/party!  Here's the facebook page on it:

    http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=115907948494347

    Hope to see some of you (locals) there!

    Also, we got the CDs in last week and they look great.  You can now keep up with us at www.fiddleandflute.com which for the time being redirects to our facebook page - it may stay that way as it's a nice way to promote what one is doing in community.  Pictures of the CDs are there.

    So, just in case you missed it, the CD release party/concert is this Friday night at 7pm.  All kickstarter.com backers get in free!

    See you there!

    Funding Successful & Recording Almost Finished!

    Just wanted to give a heads up that we're almost finished with recording and as you probably assumed, our Kickstarter campaign was successful!

    The recording I think is turning out really strong - we just have next week to overdub a bit of bodhran and mix and master.  We'll then be able to pre-release the special track / album download to all of you guys before the CD is printed and officially released.

    So in the next couple of weeks we'll be working on getting the CD ready for replication.  Once that's done, you'll hear from us on getting you all setup with your rewards and such!

    I'll leave you now with a Flickr slide show of some pictures from the recording sessions...
