Recording
is now only one day shy of completion. The amazing Deirdre Archbold and
Paula Kingston of Re Nua are putting backing vocals on two more songs
tomorrow night we are actually FINISHED RECORDING. I'm soooo soooo excited. Thanks to everyone for all the support and encouragement these past few months.
I am currently working with the Fund it
team to put together a campaign to help me pay for the final leg which
involves mixing, mastering, artwork and duplication. So if you want to
be involved in sponsoring the album that would be amazing and I would be
so grateful of the support. I will have more news on this by the end of
the week.

OPERATION ALBUM WELL UNDERWAY.
I
am so delighted and chuffed to report that the recording of my album is
almost complete. I have been hibernating for some time now, learning,
listening, reading, writing new and mending old and broken songs, a very
slow apprenticeship in the craft that is songwriting. The result is 12
songs, some which you may have heard and some which have never been
aired outside of my living room. I have always said that I would like
nothing more than to record an album I can stand by, I never felt I was
able to do this before but timing seems more important than I ever could
have imagined and all the things that were once such a struggle seem to
be miraculously falling into place.
I
have up until recently always hated the studio with a vengeance and
always felt creatively stifled in that environment. I think I secretly
thought it was the studio's fault too and not my own demons and doubts
intimidating what ever sense of music I thought I had in me. With the
support of people who come to see me play, and the solid network of
dream catchers (family and friends) around me, something (I don't dare
to understand or question) has changed and I am more ready than I
thought possible to put my small collection of songs out into the big
bad world and let it do whatever it will do and go where ever it may.
Thank you for all of your support.
It is in no way small and language is not big enough to fit all of my appreciation inside.
Christine
