‘Rising Up’ hits the shops………!!!

YEEEEESSSSSSS! “Rising Up’ hits the shops….!!! After a very long
journey we’ve finally got our debut album in HMV as well as iTunes -
and it’s an amazing feeling. Our 4th single ‘Love in Time’ (a Roy
Orbison cover version) has been playlisted on Radio 2 and will be
released on July 13th. Last Monday, Barbara Orbison flew over from
Nashville to help us promote it and we spent all afternoon doing a
series of BBC regional radio interviews. Mrs O loves what we’ve done
with the song and reckons Roy would have loved it too - which was a
relief to hear!
A couple of weeks ago we played at the Banbury Sound launch party
along with Beverley Craven and several other excellent acts. We had a
cracking evening and just want to thank everyone at the station for
their support.
Last week we performed a live session on Janice Long’s Radio 2 show -
she’s a really nice lady so we had a good laugh during the interview
and hopefully we delivered the goods on the performance front. Janice
seemed to enjoy our live version of ‘Love in Time’ as she’s played it
twice since then.
We’ve just been offered a record deal in South East Asia - if things
go according to plan we’ll be going out to Singapore towards the end
of the year. At the moment, we’re concentrating on promoting the album
and also writing material for the next one. Honey Ryder posters are
going up around the UK as well as several billboards - seeing the
first billboard in Acton whilst on our way to get a sarnie was a
surreal moment for both of us………
