Season's Greetings!

At very short notice I've decided to release another Christmas single this year.
It features two tracks, 'Hold Tight (It's almost Xmas)' is an original powerpop Christmas  song, as featured on 'A Pop Garden Christmas', while 'Last Christmas' is an up tempo Glam Rock run through the Wham! festive favourite.  

Pre-order now to receive a copy of last year's Xmas single by clicking the link below.

Both songs will shortly be available from itunes etc. but all purchasers of the CD will also receive (by email) links to high quality audio files / artwork etc.

Wishing all of you an exceptional Christmas and New Year.

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.

Xmas Single?

Just about finished recording a mystery Xmas single, any ideas what it might be?
