Long-awaited Album Launch

The amazing Second Time Around (2ndTA) are to launch their new CD ‘House of Cards’ at Quay Folk Club on February 19th. Expect an evening of superb musicianship and vocals to die for! The band will be playing the songs featured on the new album plus a selection of their old favourites. Hot-off-the-press copies of the CD will be available to buy together with some attractive merchandise. The designs (see photo) are by Tina Goode of Inkstone Arts.

I was sent an advert on Facebook recently for a ‘Second Time Around Sale’! Algorithms rule OK?

Stories with Unforseen Consequences

Storyteller Monty is brightening up the very start of February with a couple of solo events on the 1st of February in Ventnor and on the 2nd in Shanklin. This is a new venture for Monty, both are bookable, details on the Events page. It is always very difficult to take photos of Monty as his delivery is so lively he moves faster than the camera can cope with. The pic. below is the best of a very blurred bunch.

The first Wold Zong (=Isle of Wight dialect for Old Song) Singaround at the Bugle, Brading in January was very well supported. Even performers who usually sing modern songs made the effort to dig out something traditional. Wold Zong may well be the only singaround in the country which is run by a bear. The next session is on Sunday February 26th at 7pm.
