Video, Tour & Hello!

Well, since the last Blog, the video for Wilderswood has been edited (by us, of course - we're very independent you know) and is now residing on Trond's site at My Space www.myspace.com/trondteigen & also on My Space Video


For those who don't already know - the song celebrates a wood near our home, it's also an analogy for any place - physical or not - where you can review & renew your life & give thanks. The video was filmed by the very talented actor & film maker David Crellin in and around the actual Wilderswood. We wanted a video that highlights nature & the spirit of the song, and hope that it might be a nice place to visit for people stuck in their offices or similar drab surroundings (no offence to people with spectacular offices!)


Trond is currently preparing for a Norwegian tour - more details to follow - it will be a mixed programme and not album related, although he will be performing Wilderswood


Good news for American fans - the whole album is now available to hear on Pandora - which is a music discovery service, powered by the Music Genome Project, designed to help listeners find & enjoy music based on their individual tastes - "just tell us one of your favorite songs or artists and we'll launch a streaming station to explore that part of the music universe". Although only available in the USA at the moment Pandora's working on acquiring the proper licenses for Worldwide broadcasting - so we'll keep you posted...


We're please to announce that Distant Shores has recently been added to Groove Mobile's catalogue, who operate direct download services in North America, Europe and Asia


Back to My Space & my latest favourites are:

Bombshell a New York based vocal harmony trio - Carrie Welling, Jessi Rae Waltz & Melanie Klaja backed by manager & lead guitarist Fish Altieri

Our dear friend, on & away from My Space....

Neil Smith "one of Britain's finest classical guitarists having given concerts in over 40 nations making over 2000 appearances in total"

To close here's a quick time-sensitive plug for our friend Simon Lipson, who we've worked with a few times on various comedy thingies...

On Sunday 3rd Sept at 12.15 on BBC Radio 4 you can listen to Fordham & Lipson in Your Ear - a sketch show written by and starring - Simon and Philippa Fordham "recorded a couple of weeks ago at the Edinburgh Festival in front of a very appreciative sell-out crowd (ok, the tickets were free, but all 350 seats were taken - honestly)"

That's it for now, will hopefully have more info about the Norwegian tour soon,

Cheers, Helen x
