INT. Studio - Afternoon - Standing room only....

I had a day off from the Nearlys album on Sunday so that recording could start on the second Dave Peters EP (his debut Rockin' with Dave Peters is out August 27th)

Couldn't resist a quick photo op, but like the people behind the Green Door - don't know quite what they're doin' - think it involves a miniature standee of Sarah Michelle Geller (the flame still burns bright for Buffy buff Mike). It also involves some product placement by a visiting David Crellin .... a refreshing Suso, although he was mock miffed that there was "Purdeys only for the band" - not true, we'd just run out. Do you understand any of this? I don't and I was there. Anyway the new song sounded ace, laterz! H x

well....

things are mad busy here

Recording's complete on our collaboration with Catherine Kerr and the 4 track digital download EP Breeze will be released on 14th September 2009 on iTunes et al. Catherine has written three of the four tracks that comprise the EP - the fourth being an acoustic cover version of the 1960s Gerry and The Pacemakers' classic song - 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying'







Snippets...

Jade Adams ran a 5km Race For Life in Leeds last Saturday (4th July) in aid of Cancer Research UK, completing the course in 33 mins 43 seconds

David Crellin has recently completed filming an episode of Doctors (BBC1) and is gearing up for an Autumn UK tour of the play Kes - dates & details to follow

Trond Teigen is still appearing in the Oslo production of Mama Mia. We hope to catch a performance later in the year :-)

Now Is The Time got a cool review in the Summer edition of Musician magazine - Keith Ames described the EP as "well crafted" & "unusual, beguiling and compelling" - so we like him

And....

sorry this is a bit of a list, due to putting all my efforts into the Nearlys album, which is happily taking shape - a release date has been set for February 6th 2010 and I've settled on the the snappy & unassuming title of I Was A Child Genius


Hope you're enjoying the Summer, cheers, Helen x
