Well, after several rollercoaster-like months, I've finally had more
than two minutes to sit down and get back into the swing of things
with the site - my apologies for disappearing for a while, hopefully
though, things are now back on track.

Just a quick note before I let you in on all the tours & such going
on: if I owe you email/myspace messages/communication of any kind,
then let me just assure you that I will be in touch as soon as humanly
possible, in the mean time, I hope everyone's well & up to some fun
stuff!

===================================================================

Now onto buisness!

RIETTA AUSTIN, BARK, JAYSON NORRIS and BIC RUNGA all have UK dates
during March, April & May (and a few other sporadic ones throughout
the year).

THE BRUNETTES plan to start their US tour in the middle of May, no
confirmed dates as yet.

CONNAN AND THE MOCKASINS have two gigs in March, one on the 8th at Old
Blue Last, in London, and one on the 23rd at The Owl, in Stockholm,
Sweden.

DIE! DIE! DIE! have a massive US tour going on begining now on through
into April. They hit our shores at the begining of May - I expect more
dates will show up for Europe, so I'll keep you posted.

ELEMENO P hit the UK at the begining of April after a few dates at
SXSW in Austin, Tennessee.

LILY GREEN has dates in Cardiff in late March & late April - lovely
lovely music... go see! (She's just released an EP, check it out here:

Zealand and Australia. To book tickets, go here:

There are also some ALL BLACKS INTERNATIONALS up, to see the dates,
and for those of the netball, go here: http://www.veintage.org/thekorubranch/otherevents.html

===================================================================

Well, that's pretty much things at the moment, no doubt it'll start
hotting up as people plan to come over to the UK during the summer, so
I'll keep my eyes peeled for that. I'll get a new Artist of the
Week... errr.... Moment, up at some point, and do check out the site
as new gigs are added all the time, along with a few extras (eg.
Connan & The Mockasins were on Radio 1 last week, do check out the
podcast of it to hear their new songs!). Till next time....
