We look forward to an exciting new year with projects on the cards to record two new CDs featuring the Harp and another featuring our two distinct flute styles.
We are also in the throws of organising a tour wither that be in the USA or in Europe.
We are this stage not sure as plans are still in their infancy.
The Falling Feather Project will be finished early in the year and this too will be up on our sites and bloggs. I think you who are interested in the spoken word and our brand of music will find this recording fantastic, watch out for reviews on this album.

Before hand though we are off up north to the Gold Coast and look forward to seeing a little sun and a little more of it`s warmth.

About Robert Burns
Robert Burns was born in Alloway in Ayrshire Scotland on the 25th of January 1759. Why was he such a popular poet? He wrote in the common tongue. He wrote and expressed the feelings and hopes and misery of the working people of his country. His poetry was to travel the world and link emotionaly all down trodden people with hope.
His life was extraordinary due to the people who would lift him up and then distance themselves because of his progressive ideas and leanings. He was a republican and would have loved to see Scotland a republic on the lines of the French Revelution which was happening across the Channel in his time.
He was a socalist before such a thing existed, a humanitarian before such thoughts existed. He was a man of the people, a man of his time at the same time his thoughts and views were radical and way ahead even of those who were creating the world of tomorrow in France and in America.
