Today sees the release of our single ‘The Last Stop’ and at last we can use the words “out now” in relation to our new material. Unlike our previous single releases though, there’s no piece of vinyl or no cd to hold in our hands as it’s available exclusively as a digital download – my how times have changed!

The new album ‘Open Soul’ will also available digitally but on top of that there are two physical versions that you can get a hold off, speaking of which we’ve just gotten our finished copies and we need to say that we’re absolutely overjoyed with the way they both sound and look. That said we’ve just sat and signed a right good few of the premium deluxe limited editions for you and jeez our wrists don’t half ache, however judging by all the activity at the Hue and Cry music club, we know that you appreciate the personal touch.

As soon as we send this, we’re off to do the rounds of interviews, sessions, and live performances connected with the launch of ‘Open Soul’ so hopefully we’ll be hitting the airwaves and print near you soon. Well done if you’ve won tickets for any of the forthcoming some small intimate performances, we'll see you there!

After that, we’ll be on tour again with our band who are simply sounding better and better with every day of rehearsal chalked off. As we’ve said before, watch out for some nice surprises in the set alongside the old favourites and some new material.

We’re sure there’s more details on the above to be found below, meanwhile take care and here’s hoping we bump into you whilst we’re out and about over the next few weeks, make sure you say hello.

Until the next time.

All the best,

Pat & Greg
