June...A wonderful month

Well ok, June is when my birthday falls and that of my first born and Father's day and this year the World Cup....(Come on England!!!) but this year it is even more special...

We are playing a number of cool gigs leading up to the end of the month where we play 3 Wishes Faery Fest in Bodmin in Cornwall. We are playing twice there ,Friday evening and Sunday lunchtime....a chance to play a little more reserved on the Sunday lunch slot we thinks. We are also releasing "Caught in a Spell" our debut album all written by ourselves and recorded and produced by our very own singer ,guitarist, violinist Dave J. Lambert. The scheduled release date is June 18th whilst we are away with the Faeries.

Early indications of certain tracks we have sent out appear to have been well received. Faery Queen is a completely new song , we have one chance to gig it  before Faery Fest (at a private function June 11th) ......and slightly re arranged versions of our existing sets are on the CD...so hopefully those of you out there that buy it will enjoy. You may see that  some of the little gems we have done or some of the clever little bits Dave has added will creep into the live set.

This week behind the scenes at Spriggan Mist is like pre season training. We are having some quite intensive rehearsals and a live acoustic session at The Anchor Folk Club in West Byfleet. This will help us get completely gig fit for this summer.

We have submitted Solstice  to The Dolmen Grove for that CD and are deliberating on which other song to record for them. We have also accepted to play Tribal Dreams in August ....

Phew.....it's all go at Spriggan Towers. Just a  minor worry....like my voice hasn't comeback since the last blog.....you know I reported I had man flu....popping antibiotics like tic tacs but to no avail at the moment.
