Hunter Muskett have completed their customary Spring tour without getting lost, forgetting the set lists or breaking strings although there was an unfortunate and unforeseen episode with a glockenspiel in the midlands. Thankfully we were able to provide cover with an impromptu version of Cliff's "Summer Holiday". If you have yet to experience a live band performance, come prepared ...
You might also have a look to see if any of my upcoming solo gigs are within striking distance - it's always a lovely surprise to recognise people in the audience whom I've met before on a different occasion.
On the recording front, the band's last album Roll On is continuing to get great reviews, Radio 2 plays and is selling well at venues and on line - all very exciting.
Meanwhile, I'm delighted to say that at long last my follow up to the solo CD Falling More Slowly will be available by the end of the month. It's called In Sunlight and in Shadow and effectively doubles my solo CD collection to two – the last being released six years ago and now sold out.
This latest recording features original songs as well as a couple of traditional tunes and covers - thirteen in all, and like the first CD each song is preceded by a short instrumental tune, this time drawn from the National Song Book of 1908. Also included is a 24 page booklet containing the lyrics and background notes to each song as well as information and photos; another advantage of CDs over streaming.
Have a listen to one or two sample tracks on the songs page and if you’d like me to send you over a copy then just get in touch to confirm and I’ll put a CD in the post straight away.
Finally, do have a look at the gig schedule for the Autumn and next year - again I shall be all over the UK so whether I'm on my own or with the band, do drop by to say hello.
And in the meantime, all the very best to everyone for the remainder of the year ahead and thanks again for continuing to take an interest in my dear old songs - it really is appreciated.
Take care
Terry
