O'Malley's Pub and other updates...

We had an amazing trip out to Weston, MO to O'Malley's Pub! I think (no offense to every other bar we play) that O'Malley's has got to be in my to 10, maybe 5 of favorite bars world wide, including the 60 or so we drank in in Ireland! If you are ever in Kansas City, or Weston, get up to O'Malley's in Weston, the beer is great (It's a micro-brewery), the staff is warm and friendly, and the bar is 55 ft. below ground! Yes you read that right, the bar is in the cooling cellar of the 1842 brewery in a brick cellar 55 ft below ground, how cool is that!

Anyway, other than that, we've been confirmed for times at the Minnesota Irish Fair, we have 2 shows on Saturday, and 1 on Sunday, so I hope to see everyone out.

We have finished recording the CD, now it's up to our mastering engineer and graphic designer to finish up, then off to the presses, we are thinking 3-4 weeks until we have it in our hands, but it could be even sooner.

We've just been working and playing very hard, it feels like the summer is passing by too quickly, but that's life for ye'.

Anyway, I'll leave you with a video from O'Malley's, it doesn't do the bar, the crowd or the experience justice, but it's still pretty cool!

Another great online station

We've just been picked up by The Celtic Radio Network online, they have several online radio stations that can be streamed live, 24 hours a day. We are currently being played on the Highlander Radio, but they've also got Celtic-Rock-Radio, Salty Dog Radio, playing sea songs, and Celtic Moon, for a lighter side of Celtic music. The great thing about Highlander Radio is that you can go to the Celtic Radio page and REQUEST THE LANGER'S BALL, Just search for us (it helps if you click the "Exact Match" box) this will put us into more regular rotation.

Speaking of the online radio market, on Celtic Roots Radio, we are still at #1 for Raglan Road, and Little Beggarman has move up to #3! So log on & keep voting!

On another exciting note, we have finished tracking the new album. We go in today to start mixing it, we are very close!

That's all for now.
