Famous at last!

So I think we can safely say summer’s finally arrived, time to chuck out the woolly jumpers and hot water bottles and in with the flip flops, sun-creams and bikinis, well maybe that’s pushing it a bit but I’m feeling positive today so why the hell not! In fact, every day should be a flip-flop day in more ways than one! Hmm, I might just write a song about it, will get back to you on that one, or maybe not!

Right then, enough gibberish, what’s happening I hear you ask? Well, we’re just finalising the next Ep cover in all it’s Supermanlyness and getting it ready to send off to the ears of the nation. I hope you’ll like it and add it to your ODi CD collection!

Track listing will be:

(i)                 A Superman

(ii)               What You Deserve

(iii)             Tears & Wine

(iv)             Crawl (Acoustic)

(v)               Leaving My Love In New York (Acoustic)

It’ll be available for download and in actual CD format so whatever your preference there’ll be no excuses not to get your mitts on a copy or two or even a few!

Talking about downloads and free ones at that, get yourselves over to www.wovenwheatwhispers.co.uk and check out the featured releases section. Here you will find Various Artists - Showcase Sessions 1: Songsmiths which is a selection of singer/songwriter tunes put together for you to enjoy for free! It also includes the recent ‘Crawl’ b-side ‘Don’t Let Me Fall’, so what you waiting for, give it a click!

On another folky note, ‘What You Deserve’ is currently ‘MP3 of the week’ on The Durbervilles BBC Leeds Radio Show which you can listen to until Sunday on the BBC Leeds website. A big thanks goes out to the lads for the mention!

Lastly, a quick mention of our recent trip to the Isle of Arran (see pic). We hopped over to a fundraising concert to help raise some pennies for a new hospice on Arran. Unfortunately as it has made front page news in The Arran Voice paper, we will be wearing heavy shades and big hats on our next Arran visit, along with an Alsation body guard in tow, well maybe just a ginger Jack Russel who think’s she’s an Alsation, which is just as scary when she wants a chew!
