Mandala Band.
It's quite about this new reborn band from the 70-ies. There are some news songs on my space and they are promising!
David Rohl the driving digger of this projects tells why there was some delay;
We had some delays with updating my studio, it thought it was an good idea to install some Protoolls cards.
Waiting for the new Protools cards took three months! As a result I was not able to do any work on the Mandalaband recordings since
Christmas. But now, with the cards installed, I am busy adding all the overdubs we recorded in the UK in December - bass guitar with
Craig, percussion and guitars with Kim and lead vocals with Marc Atkinson (now in Riversea).
The album is sounding amazing and I am beginning to feel very good about it. I am my own worst critic - but this really is
coming along very nicely.
I go to Egypt for a conference next week but, when I get back, I will be concentrating fully on completing the BC -
Ancestors album. I still hope to have it ready for release by around May.
Best wishes,
David.
Iona.
The Celtic Rockers with one of the most beautiful voices on board have plans to tour again! Joanna Hogg the lead singer wanted more time for raising
her kids and so Iona didn't tour much the last years, but apparently there is some time found.
And that i think is great. Saw them several times and it's a great live band, driving, cheerful and inspiring. Joanna (who plays keyboards too)
is from Ireland,
Troy Donockley (on the pipes and guitars) and Dave Brainbridge (guitars and keyboards) from the Midlands,
the bass player, Phil Barker from London and drummer violist Frank van Essen is a Dutchman.
Two dates in Germany are already confirmed, i'm convinced that dates in the Netherlands will follow.
IONA is Celebrating 20 years:
Saturday 5.09.09, 20h00. DE-57610 Altenkirchen, Stadthalle.

David Gilmour.
No news... got no faintest idea what he's doing. Working on some new stuff or on a holiday at Kastelhorizon?
But i got 2 nice gifts from his management;
The shirt was a prototype for a David Gilmour item, but never manufactured commercially, so the one you have is the only one in that
style that ever existed.
A cd with live versions of; The Blue, On An Island, Take a Breath & Smile.
The CD is the audio of the live performances that David and his band recorded for the TV show ‘Live At Abbey Road’, that has aired here in the UK, and also around the world.
Three songs were included in the TV show, and ‘On An Island’ is available on the DVD that ‘Live From Abbey Road’ released, a compilation of various artists’ performances.
This CD was not available commercially - it was only available in the US as a ‘thank you’ to people who pledged money to ‘PBS’ – the Public Broadcasting Service.
And 1.15 thanks!
