"WE NEED A PERMANENT FIDDLE PLAYER
First of all, this is a plug - but for us!
So if you know anyone, please point this out to them, or if you are a fiddler yourself, and would like to apply - email me: foxie@bleedinghearts.co.uk
Hopefully, you/they/them will know what we are all about. But just in case - those with tory tendencies might be best advised not to apply, although we are an equal opportunities un-employer.
Mark has been helping us out since the middle of last year and does it with a BIG smile on his face, and while we love him lots, he is already heavily committed (not in an insane way) to other stuff and married to work (fool). And when a band has plans for gigs, tours, songwriting, recording etc it is always best to have someone who is involved in that on a permanent basis to be part of the whole. It's much nicer innit all-round.
So - can you HELP?!
C&N MANAGEMENT
Paul and Marcus gave us a big hand last year and we are deeply grateful to them for all of their assistance. However, they now need to concentrate more on earning their own crust, so we are back standing on our own 8 feet, hopefully 10, like the puppies we are off a lead. We wish them both all the best!
PARTISAN - THE NEW ACOUSTIC(ISH) ALBUM
The much anticipated (by us) acoustic(ish) album, although Ewan is getting an increasingly bigger pedalboard to match my own. I say acoustic as that is the plan but there may be the odd dash of plugged-in soundwaves in there somewhere. We can't help ourselves.
We have enough songs, we are getting recording dates together, we are trying to accumulate some mobile recording gear (a toughie with no money) so we 'hope' to be in a position to have a finished product later this year. This of course depends on a) getting a fiddler to play on it although there will be some fiddle free tracks b) whether we have the money to press it - right now that may be the biggest challenge of all.
FOLK N GLORY
Oh yeah, it's received rave reviews in Rock n Reel and Froots as well as a multitude of other mags and online sources... you can still buy it from us even though stocks are reducing and we have no intention of re-pressing. Just ask, email, or buy online or at a gig of your choice.
FORUM
Contact 'keeping it nice since 1972 Ewan Porter hyphen Stevens' if you wanna tell him a story... you can do this via our Facebook which a google reveals is 'bleedingheartsonline' apparently, or just email him at: Ewan@bleedinghearts.co.uk. If that doesn't work, grab him in Lichfield High Street... sorry, Brownhills, or in the pub somewhere... he likes Old Speckled Hen.
That's all for now!
