The gigs are done and the album is on its way

The concert at Birling Church in mid March was a great success. It was very well attended and raised some much needed money for the fund for the repair of the stone boundary wall. Our thanks to Nick, Rob and Robin for the design and set up of the stage lighting and to everyone else who helped – Sue on the sound desk, Clare for looking after us and Romey for the chocolate cake!

We are now focusing all our attention on completing the recording for the new CD. The basic backings for 15 tracks are done and we have now finished all the chorus vocals. Completing all the final lead vocals to replace guide tracks is next on the list and then it will be final overdubs before doing a rough mix and compilation of the whole album and a chance to stand back and see how the songs sit together and if there is anything to add or change.

Our hope to have it all ready for Easter is proving somewhat optimistic and it is likely to be a few more weeks before we are in a position to release it on the unsuspecting world.

We would like to add another instrumentalist (fiddle, cello, whistle, etc.), so if you are a musician out there who's interested, lives within travelling distance of South London and Kent, and likes the sort of music we play, please contact us at band@childe-rolande.co.uk for a chat.
