Back for good

yo!

Good people of blogland ....took the little'uns to the cinema today and whilst we were waiting to see "How to train your Dragon" which is by the way an awesome film especially in 3D they were playing Take That's -back for good...which to my little ones's amusement I knew most the words.....Then this afternoon i thought what a shame I don't keep the blog up to date despite popular demand...so here we are...
Back for good.......although from now on it's all going to be band ....no pseudonyms

So this has been a great few months for Spriggan Mist ...had three very good gigs so far this year. A private leaving do where we supported the Buddy holly tribute band "Anybuddy out there" that was infront of 250 odd guests at a leaving do...some didn't get the spriggan mist sound whilst others loved it and asked for that elusive CD. Then March 20th we had our charity gig in aid of cancer research which with the help of Demios our support band who i assist (mainly cos Aaron my 8 year old is their drummer and they are a trio of really decent talented lads) we managed to sell out within 4 days.....the hall was packed to it's 150 capacity.

then we played Folking live a small gig in front of a very appreciative and respectful audience who listen to the music rather than talk over it..We stripped the sound down for that and played almost acoustic. I played mainly fretless which is a first and Max played 12 string semi acoustic...Dave played acoustic guitar and played the leccy violin be it with no effects...loved playing there and would love to play again.

So now it is all down to the recording of the CD album which we aim to release in June this year. as i type Max is laying down Electric guitar for most tracks and her vocals. She laid down all her other instruments yesterday.
Andy recorded his percussion this morning and Gill and Dave will be doing theirs as and when (it's being recorded on the whole at their studio) Aaron has added drums for The park and my 5 year old brianna has actually done a little narrative for a new song that will be released on the album....oh and me?

I'm going to lay the low end next week...

Darkmagi has started on the artwork which a concept of which has been given to him .....can't wait for the end product.

So an exciting summer for Spriggan Mist lays ahead.....and i haven't mentioned the gigs yet!?!?!
