Round and round is the answer to that quiz question…

We hope everybody has been keeping well of late? Enjoying whatever fab stuff has been happening for you and dealing with the bad stuff? It’s been a busy time over the last few months for everyone involved in the Bill Coleman “Experience” , and while we don’t quite have the fruit of our labours just yet we hope to be able to start sharing some of them with you quite soon.

In fact, if you’re able to make it to a gig, you’re going to hear some brand new songs and see the latest addition to the visual experience as well

Speaking of which:

As you can see from the above I’m doing a few shows supporting Gary Dunne. Gary is a very good friend of mine going back for a long time and I’m delighted to say he’s got a new album coming out imminently. I’ve only heard a couple of songs but what I’ve heard sounds fantastic. I can’t wait to hear the full piece and I heartily recommend you come out and catch a gig of his in the near future. I guarantee you won’t regret it.

If you haven't got this album already, believe me, it's your loss...

You can hear samples of the new album from the myspace below (Gary’s one of my top friends so you can travel through there if that’s easier).

One of the fun things they’re doing over at GDHQ is making a video from submissions made by fans – the blurb follows. Break a leg! It’s a bit of fun doing this!

Independent record label Honest Records have just launched an innovative new video project for the release of ’Simple Truth’, the new single from Irish artist Gary Dunne.

The idea is this. You video yourself holding up any written message that you want (think Bob Dylan, Subterranean Homesick Blues), email it to info@garydunne.com and it’s then uploaded to www.youtube.com/makeamusicvideo. Try to be creative with your messages and locations. Videos are already flowing in from Tokyo, Stockholm, London and Sydney!

You don’t need any professional equipment. Grab your mobile or video camera, write your message get filming and get it online! The final cut will be edited in London at the end of March.

The track, Simple Truth is the title track from Gary’s new album, out Apr 11. You can hear exclusive album previews on myspace.com/garydunne. Gary has always worked closely with fans; he has just finished playing living room shows across the UK and Ireland and his label is partly funded by a loyal fanbase.

Since the independent release of his debut album Twenty Twenty Fiction in 2005, Gary has performed alongside artists like Damien Rice and Duke Special and played sold out headline shows in New York, Paris and London.
