Last summer we hosted a group of folk dancers and singers as they toured round the local area performing and sightseeing. Now they want to repay the favor. We are sending some demos to clubs in larger cities through a contact we have as well so we may add a NY or Boston date to the itinerary!!!

Originally Posted By u k fan Ok, so we did our second performance at Covent Garden and the good news is there'll be a third. As it turns out we've been selected to perform in a space that advertised as the only classical busking pitch in the world so in amongst "Oh Boy" and "Lollipop" we now have to work on putting our own stamp on some classical pieces, which is very exciting. But they definitely like us and they definitely want us back so to be considered of that quality is awesome!!!
Originally Posted By u k fan Yeah, it was pretty awesome playing in such a respected venue where you live or die on nothing, but your ability. And then to get really good comments was the icing on the cake. The best thing as well is that they want us to keep our sound, but add some different repertoire so they obviously like what we do. If anyone's in London this summer let me know!!!
