  • NI Tourist Board Advert Campaign, Big Life Publishing, Windmill lane..happy boys.

    We rarely write to this but we got alot of great news recently so we thought we'd share. :)
    Firstly, our song "Long May You Reign" has been chosen by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board to feature in a major tv and radio
    campaign which goes live in Ireland on 9th February. It will be
    screened on UTV, Channel 4, RTE 1, RTE 2, TV3, Sky 1, Sky News, Sky
    Sports, Setanta, E4 and MTV.

    On Saturday 7th February the 60 second tv ad will be premiered on
    outdoor screens at Croke Park, Dublin at the Ireland vs France Rugby
    Match.
    A single release and Irish tour is planned for March ..more news to follow on that.
    We got the news back in November that they were interested and we've literally been on the edges of our seats ever since. So after a lot of sleepless nights and a strange encounter recording a cover version of "Bring me sunshine" (we'll tell you about that some other time) we finally got the news just before Christmas that they would be using the song. Which made for a very lovely and excited Christmas!
    We have also signed a publishing deal with Big Life (snow patrol, the verve...) This was the icing on the cake to be dealing with such a great company that has such a great reputation and artist repertoire.
    Luckily we got to record the track in Windmill Lane studio which is owned by the wonderful Van Morrison. It was recorded and mixed by Ian Mcnulty, a great friend of ours and a brilliant engineer. It was lovely to record with him and in that environment. Its an incredible studio that has been used by the likes of U2, Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie to name but a few.
    thats it for now i think. Hopefully there will be a lot more news soon. Thanks to everyone so far for all the support that youve shown since we started 2 years ago!

    much love

    Phil, Walter, Ger and Kev
