Dear friends / A (bh)charaidean,

We hope that you are having a lovely summer wherever you are around the globe. We have been very busy mixing the album TÌR and are now ready to get it manufactured by Scottish firm Birnam CD.

We are preparing all the various pledges by the Kickstarter backers of the project and we have also announced that presales of the album can be made on our website. Feel free to tell your friends and family about it.

TÌR - Presales Promo

The final album is sounding amazing and Brian did a wee interview with co-producer Mike Vass while mixing in Gloworm Studios in Glasgow.

The "Gaol" (Love) tote bags have arrived from our designer Graficanna. They'll go out to those who had these included in their Kickstarter pledge.

Artist Rachel Cush has also been hard at work creating the illustrations for each song, the inlay and for our website. Postcards and sketchbooks are coming soon.

We hope for the physical CD's to be available around the end of August/start of September and will get it out to all the relevant backers presales clients as soon as they come in. We'll send out download codes to all backers before this. So, not long to wait!

Thank you all again for your support and kind words to date. Tha sinn nur comain.

Dùrachdan,

Brian & Fiona

Delighted to have been part of this concert which has just got a five-star review in the Inverness Courier!

If you like the sound of this, why not check out our Kickstarter campaign which offers lots of goodies and will help us complete our duo album?

We are half way to reaching our target!

29/5/2018

We are delighted to say that we have already reached halfway towards our target in our Kickstarter campaign.

We'd like to welcome all the new backers who have made a pledge since our last update. You are fab!

Tha sinn fada nur comain airson a h-uile taic a tha sibh air a thoirt dhuinn. Ceud taing. Go raibh míle maith agaibh air fad.

Here is a short video on Keith Morrison of the Wee Studio who is the engineer and one of the main musicians on the album. Such a genuinely lovely guy and a great friend.

1/3 of the way to reaching our target!

27/5/2018

After 2 days of our Kickstarter campaign opening, we have reached one-third of our target for the project. Thank you so much to those who have given support. It is truly humbling to have people around the world backing our work.

See our Kickstarter page HERE.

We played the eco/cycle cafe Velocity 🚴‍♀️in Inverness last night, opening for the fab west coast American band Cinder Well. We think that we'll do our Inverness launch here as we love playing in more acoustic, intimate spaces; as well as supporting local business.

We are going to video a few songs soon to put up online during the campaign and will keep you informed, of course.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend. 🌞🌈
An dòchas gu bheil sibh ann an deagh shunnd a charaidean.
