Dingle Days

We've just returned from the breathtaking Dingle peninsula in the West of Ireland after a busy two weeks continuing to record tracks that will form the debut ODi album.

The sessions took place in Garvey's Farmhouse, Ventry , a beautiful little spot used regularly by The Frames as a recording venue over the years. As If this was not inspiring enough the the magical view and the mystical surroundings made sure there were plenty of vibes!

We've settled on working on 14 songs , some old (Mariposa), some new (Make it Better), some Borrowed ( One in A Million a song we both love written by good friends Man & Wife)....... Hopefully there is nothing Blue!!!

Everything is starting to come together as we head for Mixing in a couple of weeks, we will be sprinking some strings on some of the tracks in the meantime to make things sound a little sweeter!

GIGS

Before we mix we are heading out to play some gigs and roadtest some of the album material around Ireland ! Hope some of you can make the following.

....is not the title of the next ODi song (although now I think of it...) but the name of the funniest T.V. program I've seen in a long time! So last week I was over in Roma for a few days at one of my best friend's wedding and whilst nursing a (very over indulged in red wine, white wine and any other coloured wine left on the table) sore head the next day I flicked on the telly and was engrossed by what I think may have been Italian karyoke (apologies to any Italian popstars on the show if this was not the case) and really badly mimed, even I noticed (I grew up thinking Top Of The Pops was live, ok)! For extra comedy factor the audience were also on stage singing (and miming) with the contestants who consisted of what looked like the singer's aunts, uncles, grannies and other various extended family members plus 2 extremely short-skirted cousins with cowboy hats and boots! I have no idea what was going on but it was the best cure for a sore head I've ever had, just brilliant! Has anyone else seen this or was I just having another Father Dougal moment??

Right, so whats going on back in the real world then? Well the Eps been selling nicely, thanks to everyone whose downloaded it, bought it, burnt it (naughty naughty, but ok, so long as you promise to come to a gig the next time) or sat on it. Cheers! If you dont know what the hec Im on about then check out the front page again and press a few buttons on the new frustratingly annoying player, you'll eventually get to it! Needless to say, but Im going to anyway, you can get it at the following gigs at bargain prices and even more so if you're good at haggling at which Im not (my haggling skills were taught to me at a very young age from watching 'The Life Of Brian' so you'll probably end up getting one for free).

Mission 1: Fancy a trip to Prague? If you click on this link it'll take you to a little competition we entered to go on tour in Prague, and you can come too whayhay!

Mission 2: Say hello to Tom Robinson: This guy seems to be turning into the new John Peel and is giving us newbies a chance for their fans (that's you by the way) to get in touch with him and put forward a track or two i.e. A SUPERMAN!

Mission 3: Make a cuppa and have a listen to the new track 'Real To Me'! Easy peasy this one more of a way to say thanks for all your hard work and if you're really feeling it then you can download it here http://www.elfm.co.uk/2008/05/odi/ (we would have put it up for free download on the new player but we dont know how to!) and if you're still in the mood for procrastination try this!
