On to a good thing

Those of us who got the latest Special Consensus CD (The trail of aching hearts, on the Pinecastle label) during the band's last tour of Ireland have already had nearly three months' enjoyment out of it. For a good two months Pinecastle have been getting elated responses from radio presenters who've been playing it; and it's due for official release on 15 May. We can congratulate ourselves in having been on to a good thing.

As mentioned during the tour, you can get the album before the official release date, via the Pinecastle website. The band is shown below in one of their few quiet moments during the tour, with our own Niall Toner, one of whose songs is on the album. They'll be crossing the Atlantic again for a short Continental tour in July.
