Only Two And a Half Weeks To Go! - IVORY BOW August 5th

The Spanking New Release from our good selves!

(Not suggesting you should spank anyone whilst listening of course ;)

Well I’ll be…….I blogged last week and the release date didn’t change – Can you believe it? Confidence is at an all time High and so I thought why not try another? 

So - now I can confidently announce that our FABULOUS new website is up, running and looking absobloominlutely gorgeous. Oh! which just reminded me of a fan letter I received when I was about 13 – in my first band …and I still recall to this day. She wrote ….”….I really love the band and think you’re absolutely “Georges”  - hehe, lucky George eh?

The Interview

We had oodles fun and games on Wednesday night with Pete from Mystic Radio. We were set to start recording the interview at 9:00pm our time - 2:00pm New Mexico time. The idea was to set up a conference call across the pond because Ollie and I couldn’t be together. So I’m at the Olde Barn in the depths of Sherwood Forest, MSN-ing Ollie (Who’s in London). Pete’s emailing me from Albuquerque saying – “Tested the call - but it's not going through --- how do I get through? Call me!! And I’m furiously dialling on my landline to the good peeps at Ft Lauderdale – trying to get the U.S. Code for Merry England.  I can feel one of me turns coming on just thinking about it ;)

BUT we did it and it was very cool. The end result should be up towards the end of next week and we’ll post the links.

If anyone out there has a favourite radio station – call them and suggest a phone or online interview? …..No really  – we know how to do it now 

The Other Side of the Trax

An insight into recording the toons on  Ivory Bow

The Ivory Bow (Track 8)

A romantic “Disneyesque” theme in very much the same style as She Too from DP1. 

The working title for this was She3, but I was trying to think of a title for the album, something emotive that would encapsulate my relationship with Ollie. I wanted to combine elements of the violin with those of the keyboard and the obvious keywords were Ivory – for the keys and Bow for the fiddle. When spoken aloud, the words painted all sorts of pictures, but best of all, they sounded really good together, so Ivory Bow was born. Originally, I imagined a beautiful ribbon tied in a bow around a tree made from pure velvet. A message from a lover to a loved one that could never be spoken.  Then another picture began to develop in my mind and I could see a hand stretching from a raging sea thrusting a different kind of bow  at a stormy sky. The bow was Excalibur - or music fighting to calm our troubled world.

The title of the album came before the title of the track, so Its all back to front but life’s like that innit? 

Ha! – Spell checker doesn’t like “innit” – but it doesn’t like “Disneyesque” either – think I’ll leave it 
