Too many exclamation marks, methinks. I must start rationing those…
Anyways, howdy folks – how is everybody keeping ?
I’ve been around the country for the last few days playing some gigs, trying out some stuff. One place I’d never been before was Derry. Having learned so much in school and read so much about it in various books written from differing viewpoints, it was incredible to see some of the places and sights of the city.
Had difficulty finding the venue (Masons). Downside, 40 minutes spent driving around a bit clueless, upside, I got to see more of the city than I would have, and I’m really glad I drove through the Bogside and past some of the murals, twice or three times. Made being lost not such of a waste !

I hope you’re all well and surviving handy. Here’s one or two bits of news for your delectation.
1. New snazzy music page – music.bcoleman.com
2. Hot Press ‘Best of Cork‘ CD
3. T-shirts !
Firstly, we’ve been tinkering with the website of late. Particularly snazzy (I think) is the music page. You can download all sorts of digital forms of Bill Coleman songs, and there’s a little bit of commentary going on with each one, lyrics and whatnot thrown into the mix there as well.
The first thing you’ll notice is some new recordings, an advance taster of what the new album will be about if you will. For some kind of limited period these will be available to download for free, although if you feel like tipping for them you can through the music page 
.
There are two brand new tracks up, False North (a demo version), and Your Hands Were Made for Working (taken from the album recording sessions).
The observant among you will notice that there’s a tool to share these on your social networking sites, Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and what have you, so by all means please spread the word people, that’s what they’re there for.
Secondly, denizens of the Peoples Republic, check out the current issue of Hot Press , it comes equipped with a CD featuring yours truly along with other southern luminaries such as Fred, The Frank and Walters, Ian Whitty and the Exchange and many more quality acts.
As far as I’m aware the physical CD is only available in Cork, but that’s why I figured I ought to stick it up on the music page. The track is Your Hands Were Made for Working. It’s also up for streaming on Hotpress.com.
Thirdly, it was a close run thing on the t-shirts, but the letters design won through by just a single solitary vote. I’m currently sorting out getting these made, and when I have that sorted I’ll fire on a message with the winner of the competition and all that good stuff. Tough decision !
That’s about all for now folks. Take it nice and handy there now
