Shhh....

Been quiet for a long time, but some things coming up fairly soon (in no particular order):
Magazine  article / covermount CD appearance (details to follow).
7" vinyl single to be released in October (give or take).
Song on Pop Garden Radio's Xmas CD (US) at the end of the year.

Xmas Single Details.

Here's the front cover of The Slingsby Hornets Xmas single, released on December 1st.

It will be available for download from the usual outlets and on CD from http://www.freewebstore.org/Expedition-HotDog-Records for the princely sum of £2.50 (+S&H).

It features two tracks, an up tempo Power Pop rendition of the Shakin' Stevens festive favourite 'Merry Christmas Everyone', and an 80's Glam Metal version of Ringo Starr's 1999 Christmas song 'Come On Christmas (Christmas Come On)', all lovingly wrapped in a rather nice card wallet.
