Heavy Blarney CD cover

Here it is! Based on a wee picture of me having a banjo jam on the back lawn of sprawling Turkby Manor. I got the butler to haul 126 amps out but there were too many to fit in the photo so I made him take most of them back inside. He even got grass on some of them, the eejit. Anyway, the full heaviness of the blarney will be revealed on November 28th (note date change) at the Celtic Inn in Palmy, Aotearoa. Start time to be confirmed, but it'll be between 3 and 5PM most probably. That gives you time to get rowdied up, then have a nice plate of wedges at the pub and reminisce about what makes the banjo so darn cool.

Summon Forth the Mangonel and Heavy Blarney

Jim K has lashed himself to the mast until we complete the Summon Forth the Mangonel album. Luckily his mast is next to a TV, inside a jacuzzi, near a steady supply of Tangy Fruits and lemonade. We have almost finished the rhythm tracks and most of the vocals/yelling. Soon we will progress to the fancy saxy parts!

More details will soon be available for the BTE's "Turkby Tea Party" gig at the Theosophical Hall on October 30th. We're pretty stoked about this one cos it's in a small venue that's vegetarian and non-alcoholic, we'll be playing early (8:30) so everybody can enjoy the Turkby madness!

Jim has also twisted some arms and got the Hungarian Thunder and Paul "Tunebook" Turner to play on the turkby sideproject CD Heavy Blarney. MacDeth and Slapskins MacBOOOM will also be joining in the fun when we do a CD release gig. That'll be at The Celtic Inn in Palmy on November 21st, late afternoon-ish. More details to come on that too.
